Habitable planets for 70 Ophiuchi A and B

Here is a link to some basic info on this binary system.  70 Ophiuchi A has 47% of Sol's luminosity, its life zone ranging from 0.48 to 1.02 AU with the Earth twin distance at 0.68.  A planet there would have a year 206 Earth days long.  B has only 9% of Sol's luminosity and a life zone between 0.21 and 0.45 AU.  An Earth twin would be at 0.3 AU and have a 60-Earth-day year.
