TRIPLE-STAR CANDIDATES AMONG THE KEPLER BINARIES

We present the results of a search through the photometric database of Kepler eclipsing binaries looking for evidence of hierarchical triple-star systems. The presence of a third star orbiting the binary can be inferred from eclipse timing variations. We apply a simple algorithm in an automated dete...
