Abstract (from CDS):

In previous hydrodynamical simulations, we found a mechanism for nearly circular binary stars, such as Kepler-413, to trap two planets in a stable 1:1 resonance. Therefore, the stability of coorbital configurations becomes a relevant question for planet formation around binary stars. For this work, we investigated the coorbital planet stability using a Kepler-413 analogue as an example and then expanded the parameters to study a general n-body stability of planet pairs in eccentric horseshoe orbits around binaries. The stability was tested by evolving the planet orbits for 105 binary periods with varying initial semi-major axes and planet eccentricities. The unstable region of a single circumbinary planet is used as a comparison to the investigated coorbital configurations in this work. We confirm previous findings on the stability of single planets and find a first order linear relation between the orbit eccentricity ep and pericentre to identify stable orbits for various binary configurations. Such a linear relation is also found for the stability of 1:1 resonant planets around binaries. Stable orbits for eccentric horseshoe configurations exist with a pericentre closer than seven binary separations and, in the case of Kepler-413, the pericentre of the first stable orbit can be approximated by rc,peri = (2.90 ep + 2.46) abin.
