Follow the trace: Direct detection of a dynamically ejected young planet outside a circumbinary disk

Stellar multiple systems offer some of the most challenging environments for planet formation. Tidal interaction of stellar binaries with the planet-forming disks can lead to truncation, formation of cavities, warps and spirals. Dynamic interaction with forming planets can lead to their ejection from the system. Possibly explaining the population of free floating planets or (some) of the gas giants directly imaged at wide orbital separations. Recent observations of a young nearby binary system have revealed a unique opportunity to directly observe this process in action. A newly detected circumbinary disk in the system shows a clear signature of the recent ejection of a planet. Using the superior sensitivity of JWST and NIRCam from space we now propose to directly detect this planet. This will not only give us a unique laboratory to study dynamic star-planet-disk interaction but also will enable future studies of the atmosphere of a planet otherwise inaccessible to direct observations....
