Coplanar Circumbinary Planets Can Be Unstable to Large Tilt Oscillations in the Presence of an Inner Polar Planet

Coplanar Circumbinary Planets Can Be Unstable to Large Tilt Oscillations in the Presence of an Inner Polar Planet

Mutually misaligned circumbinary planets may form in a warped or broken gas disk or from later planet–planet interactions. With numerical simulations and analytic estimates we explore the dynamics of two circumbinary planets with a large mutual inclination. A coplanar inner planet causes prograde ap...
