Hi guys,

I would think that any planet(s) would be rather insignificant in the comparative mass and orbital calculations of the two stars. A Jupiter size planet 1/1000 the mass of our Sun would be about 1/8000 the mass of this system or 0.0125%. The masses for each star were quoted to an accuracy of 1.2% and 1.7%.

Regards, Rob
