SUMMARY:The (evolving) story of circumbinary planets - real life Tatooines

DESCRIPTION:Planets orbiting around two stars - circumbinary planets - are
  beautiful tools in astrophysics. They shed light on planetary and stellar
  formation processes\, showcase rapid orbital dynamics and provide a pathw
 ay to the characterisation of temperate atmospheres. I will show this by a
 nalysing the observational trends seen to date and what we can (or cannot)
  deduce from them. In particular\, I will propose an argument to explain w
 hy no circumbinary planets have been found orbiting around the tightest bi
 naries (binary period < 7 days).
