With near-infrared photometry and spectra, we propose to observe a close pair of candidate planetary mass companions orbiting a binary A-star. If spectroscopically confirmed as L-type objects, these companions would be the first circumbinary planets orbiting Main Sequence stars. Comparison of the absolute K-band magnitudes with evolutionary models suggests masses of ~5Mjup and ~6Mjup, among the lowest mass planets imaged to date. The companions were detected as part of our volume-limited survey of A-stars within 75pc (GN-2008B-Q-119, PI: Patience) and second epoch observations were recently obtained (GN-2010A-Q-99, PI: De Rosa), indicating that the companions have a proper motion more consistent with the primary than a background object. The youth of the system, 30Myr, combined with the ~4?.5 separation of the companions enabled the detection of these intriguing objects in our snaphot survey. If confirmed, the entire system presents a very interesting case study in the diversity of planetary architectures: the host star is in an eccentric 11-day orbit and is surrounded by a debris disk estimated to be ~30AU in radius, and, at a projected separation of ~250AU, are a pair of planetary mass companions separated from each other by ~10AU.

Would also be the first example of a binary planet, as well. Though of course, these objects probably formed in the same mechanism responsible for brown dwarfs.

Man, it was more immediate typing Iota Delphini. So we're also dealing with a notable star.

Plus outer limit of hill radius for the first planet lies within 25 AUs (with a 2 Msun star at 250 AUs). Though we'd be dealing with binary planet either Trojan exoplanets.
