The Potential of the Timing Method to Detect Evolved Planetary Systems

Year: 2011

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The timing method, using either stellar pulsations or eclipse timing of close binaries as a clock, is proving to be an efficient way to detect planets around stars that have evolved beyond the red giant branch. In this article we present a short review of the recent discoveries and we investigate the potential of the timing method using data both from ground‐based facilities as well as from the Kepler and CoRoT space missions.
