Did we have a dedicated Kepler-16 thread, I didn't find one?

Question as to why Kepler-16b is on a near-circular orbit (e=0.0069) when the inner binary is eccentric (e=0.16)

Attempts to model the planet's migration through the circumbinary disc - need a massive disc in which the planet does not open a significant gap. Still further effects to incorporate into the model though.
