Detecting and Modelling Circumbinary Companions From Timing Measurements
In recent years several single and multi-body extrasolar planets (aka circumbinary companions) have been announced to orbit short-period eclipsing binaries from measuring the time of mid-eclipses. A dynamical analysis of these systems reveal that the derived best-fit orbital elements result in unstable orbits on short time scales. Here, we present results from modelling synthetic timing data set of stable circumbinary planetary systems and discuss their implications.
