Radial-velocity discovery of a second #planet in the TOI-1338/BEBOP-1 #circumbinary system: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-023-01948-4 -> A new #Tatooine-like multi-planetary system identified: https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2023/a-new-tatooine-like-multi-planetary-system-identified - an international team of astronomers has announced the second-ever discovery of a multiplanetary circumbinary system.

A circumbinary planet is a planet that orbits two stars instead of one.

We report the detection of a gas-giant #planet in orbit around both stars of an eclipsing #binarystar system that also contains a smaller, inner transiting planet . The new planet was discovered using radial-velocity data , it is a 65.2 M⊕ #circumbinary planet with a period of 215.5 days. This is the first detection of a circumbinary planet using radial-velocity observations alone, and makes it only the second confirmed multiplanet circumbinary system to date: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.10794
