Would a planet near either A or B possibly have a circular orbit? Seems like our powerful new adaptive telescopes would be able to resolve such a planet.

The system would only have small Earth-like planets, not giants like Jupiter as they would have been too far out to develop. We can only detect planets Jupiter's size or larger.
