Planet-disc interactions around misaligned binaries can push giant planets toward coplanar or polar orbits, create eccentric inner rings, and sometimes eject the planet.

abstract
The BEBOP (Binaries Escorted By Orbiting Planets) survey is a search for circumbinary planets using the radial velocity spectrographs HARPS and SOPHIE, currently focusing on single-lined binaries with a mass ratio $<0.3$. Circumbinary systems are an important testing ground for planet formation theories as the dynamically complex influence of the binary makes planet formation and survival more difficult. Here we present the results of the survey so far including: confirmed planets such as BEBOP-1c the first circumbinary planet detected in radial velocity; the status of our observations; and preliminary occurrence rates. We compare the early results of the radial velocity survey to the population of circumbinary planets discovered in transit, and suggest that there may be a population of inflated planets close to the inner binary which are detectable in transit but more difficult in radial velocity. Using time-lag tidal theory, we show that this inflation is unlikely caused by tides.

Planet-disc interactions around eccentric binaries and misaligned ring formation
Planet-disc interactions around misaligned binaries can push giant planets toward coplanar or polar orbits, create eccentric inner rings, and sometimes eject the planet.
