Scientific paper

Discoveries of extrasolar planets in tight binaries are of great scientific value since these systems can be used to gain new insights in planetary development processes. Gamma Cephei, one of the most thoroughly investigated double star systems is hosting a Jovian planet at a distance of about 2 AU from its primary, a 1.4 solar-mass K1 III-IV star (Neuhäuser et al. 2007; Torres 2007). We comprise aspects of dynamical stability, disc heating processes and different giant planet (GP) formation scenarios in order to gain a better understanding of the open questions that remain in explaining the formation of gamma Cephei b.
