Transit timing variations of Kepler-410Ab were already reported in a few papers. Their semi-amplitude is about 14.5 minutes. In our previous paper, we found that the transit timing variations could be caused by the presence of a stellar companion in this system. Our main motivation for this paper was to investigate variation in a radial-velocity curve generated by this additional star in the system. We performed spectroscopic observation of Kepler-410 using three telescopes in Slovakia and Czech Republic. Using the cross-correlation function, we measured the radial velocities of the star Kepler-410A. We did not observe any periodic variation in a radial-velocity curve. Therefore, we rejected our previous hypothesis about additional stellar companion in the Kepler-410 system. We ran different numerical simulations to study mean-motion resonances with Kepler-410Ab. Observed transit timing variations could be also explained by the presence of a small planet near to mean-motion resonance 2:3 with Kepler-410Ab. This resonance is stable on a long-time scale. We also looked for stable regions in the Kepler-410 system where another planet could exist for a long time.

We report a detailed characterization of the Kepler-19 system. This star was previously known to host a transiting planet with a period of 9.29 days, a radius of 2.2 R$_oplus$ and an upper limit on the mass of 20 M$_oplus$. The presence of a second,
non-transiting planet was inferred from the transit time variations (TTVs) of Kepler-19b, over 8 quarters of Kepler photometry, although neither mass nor period could be determined. By combining new TTVs measurements from all the Kepler quarters and 91 high-precision radial velocities obtained with the HARPS-N spectrograph, we measured through dynamical simulations a mass of $8.4 pm 1.6$ M$_oplus$ for Kepler-19b. From the same data, assuming system coplanarity, we determined an orbital period of 28.7 days and a mass of $13.1 pm 2.7$ M$_oplus$ for Kepler-19c and discovered a Neptune-like planet with a mass of $20.3 pm 3.4$ M$_oplus$ on a 63 days orbit. By comparing dynamical simulations with non-interacting Keplerian orbits, we concluded that neglecting interactions between planets may lead to systematic errors that could hamper the precision in the orbital parameters when the dataset spans several years. With a density of $4.32 pm 0.87$ g cm$^{-3}$ ($0.78 pm 0.16$ $rho_oplus$) Kepler-19b belongs to the group of planets with a rocky core and a significant fraction of volatiles, in opposition to low-density planets characterized by transit-time variations only and the increasing number of rocky planets with Earth-like density. Kepler-19 joins the small number of systems that reconcile transit timing variation and radial velocity measurements.
We present FIES@NOT, HARPS-N@TNG, and [email protected] radial velocity follow-up observations of K2-19, a compact planetary system hosting three planets, of which the two larger ones, namely K2-19b and K2-19c, are close to the 3:2 mean motion resonance
. An analysis considering only the radial velocity measurements detects K2-19b, the largest and most massive planet in the system, with a mass of $54.8pm7.5$~M${_oplus}$ and provides a marginal detection of K2-19c, with a mass of M$_mathrm{c}$=$5.9^{+7.6}_{-4.3}$ M$_oplus$. We also used the TRADES code to simultaneously model both our RV measurements and the existing transit-timing measurements. We derived a mass of $54.4pm8.9$~M${_oplus}$ for K2-19b and of $7.5^{+3.0}_{-1.4}$~M${_oplus}$ for K2-19c. A prior K2-19b mass estimated by Barros et al. 2015, based principally on a photodynamical analysis of K2-19s light-curve, is consistent with both analysis, our combined TTV and RV analysis, and with our analysis based purely on RV measurements. Differences remain mainly in the errors of the more lightweight planet, driven likely by the limited precision of the RV measurements and possibly some yet unrecognized systematics.
We present 33 transit minimum times of 20 transiting planets discovered by the CoRoT mission, which have been obtained from ground-based observations since the missions end in 2012, with the objective to maintain the ephemeris of these planets. Twelv
e of the observed planets are in the CoRoT fields near the galactic center and the remaining eight planets are in the fields near the anticenter. We detect indications for significant transit timing variations in the cases of CoRoT 3b, 11b, 13b, 27b. For two more planets (CoRoT 18b and 20b) we conclude that timing offsets in early follow-up observations led to ephemeris in discovery publications that are inconsistent with timings from follow-up observations in later epochs. In the case of CoRoT-20b, this might be due to the influence from a further non-transiting planet. We also note that a significant majority (23 of 33) of our reported minimum times have negative O-C values, albeit most of them are within the expected uncertainty of the ephemeris.
Transits in the planetary system WASP-4 were recently found to occur 80s earlier than expected in observations from the TESS satellite. We present 22 new times of mid-transit that confirm the existence of transit timing variations, and are well fitte
d by a quadratic ephemeris with period decay dP/dt = -9.2 +/- 1.1 ms/yr. We rule out instrumental issues, stellar activity and the Applegate mechanism as possible causes. The light-time effect is also not favoured due to the non-detection of changes in the systemic velocity. Orbital decay and apsidal precession are plausible but unproven. WASP-4b is only the third hot Jupiter known to show transit timing variations to high confidence. We discuss a variety of observations of this and other planetary systems that would be useful in improving our understanding of WASP-4 in particular and orbital decay in general.
Transit timing variations provide a powerful tool for confirming and characterizing transiting planets, as well as detecting non-transiting planets. We report the results an updated TTV analysis for 1481 planet candidates (Borucki et al. 2011; Batalh
a et al. 2012) based on transit times measured during the first sixteen months of Kepler observations. We present 39 strong TTV candidates based on long-term trends (2.8% of suitable data sets). We present another 136 weaker TTV candidates (9.8% of suitable data sets) based on excess scatter of TTV measurements about a linear ephemeris. We anticipate that several of these planet candidates could be confirmed and perhaps characterized with more detailed TTV analyses using publicly available Kepler observations. For many others, Kepler has observed a long-term TTV trend, but an extended Kepler mission will be required to characterize the system via TTVs. We find that the occurrence rate of planet candidates that show TTVs is significantly increased (~68%) for planet candidates transiting stars with multiple transiting planet candidate when compared to planet candidates transiting stars with a single transiting planet candidate.
