The Detectability Of Transit Depth Variations Due To Exoplanetary Oblateness And Spin Precession by Carter, Joshua Adam, Winn, Joshua Nathan

“…The detectability of the TδV signal would be enhanced by moons (which would decrease the precession period) or planetary rings (which would increase the amplitude). The Kepler mission should find several planets for which precession-induced T[delta]V signals will be detectable. …”

KOI-2700b—A PLANET CANDIDATE WITH DUSTY EFFLUENTS ON A 22 hr ORBIT by Barclay, Thomas, DeVore, John, Rowe, Jason, Still, Martin, Sanchis Ojeda, Roberto, Rappaport, Saul A

“…The transit is not sufficiently deep to allow for a study of the transit-to-transit variations, as is the case for KIC 1255b; however, it is clear that the transit depth is slowly monotonically decreasing by a factor of ~2 over the duration of the Kepler mission. We infer a mass-loss rate in dust from the planet of ~2 lunar masses per Gyr. …”
