Circumbinary Planets Orbiting the Rapidly Pulsating Subdwarf B-type binary NY Vir

S. -B. Qian, L. -Y. Zhu, Z. -B. Dai +3

We report here the tentative discovery of a Jovian planet in orbit around the rapidly pulsating subdwarf B-type (sdB-type) eclipsing binary NY Vir. By using new determined eclipse…
