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).
