Abstract

In close eclipsing binaries, measurements of the variations in the

binary's eclipse timing may be used to infer information about the

existence of planets in P-Type motion. To study the possibility of

detecting such planets with CoRoT and Kepler, we calculated eclipse

timing variations (ETV) for different values of the mass and orbital

elements of the perturbing planet. These investigations are a

continuation of the work of Schwarz et al. (2011).
