Evidence for a planetary mass third body orbiting the binary star KIC 5095269

Abstract

In this paper, we report the evidence for a planetary mass body orbiting the close binary star KIC 5095269. This detection arose from a search for eclipse timing variations among the more than 2,000 eclipsing binaries observed by Kepler. Light curve and periodic eclipse time variations have been analysed using Systemic and a custom Binary Eclipse Timings code based on the Transit Analysis Package which indicates a $7.70\pm 0.08M_{Jup}$ object orbiting every $237.7\pm 0.1d$ around a $1.2M_{\odot }$ primary and $0.51M_{\odot }$ secondary in an 18.6d orbit. A dynamical integration over $10^7$ years suggests a stable orbital configuration. Radial velocity observations are recommended to confirm the properties of the binary star components and the planetary mass of the companion.
