During the relatively brief, combined giant phases of the two stars at present, however, a
planet could
orbit the Aab pair far enough out for the two stars to act as a
single gravitational source and near enough for it to receive enough energy to sustain life, possibly
around 12.5 AUs out from the binary.
Since a star and its
planets were never part of a
single swirling gas and dust cloud spinning
around the same axis, there is no reason for hot Jupiters to have their spin axes aligned with the star's spin axis, or for all their
orbits to be prograde.
