TrES-2: The First Transiting Planet in the Kepler Field (2006, background): “Such data will permit us to look for transit timing variations indicative of additional planets in the TrES2 system (Agol et al. 2005; Holman & Murray 2005; Steffen & Agol 2005).”
POSSIBLE DISINTEGRATING SHORT-PERIOD SUPER-MERCURY ORBITING KIC 12557548 (2012, background): “Moreover, invoking a second planet in an attempt to force rapid orbit-to-orbit variations in the planet’s trajectory across the star would result in transit timing variations (TTVs; Agol et al. 2005; Holman & Murray 2005).”
How to Characterize Habitable Worlds and Signs of Life (2017, background): “…transit timing and/or duration due to the orbit of the planet around the planet–moon barycenter (Sartoretti & Schneider 1999, Agol et al. 2005, Holman & Murray 2005, Kipping 2009), light curve distortions (Szabo et al. 2006), planet–moon eclipses (Cabrera & Schneider 2007), microlensing (Han…”
WASP-47: A HOT JUPITER SYSTEM WITH TWO ADDITIONAL PLANETS DISCOVERED BY K2 (2015, positive): “TTVs were predicted (Holman & Murray 2005; Agol et al. 2005) and searched for (Steffen & Agol 2005; Gibson et al. 2009), but very little evidence for TTVs was found until the Kepler mission discovered smaller transiting planets on longer period orbits than the hot Jupiters detected from the ground…”
EXTRACTING PLANET MASS AND ECCENTRICITY FROM TTV DATA (2012, methodology): “Agol et al. (2005) and Holman & Murray (2005) proposed using TTV signals to characterize the companions of transiting extrasolar planets, and this technique has proved to be highly successful both for confirming Kepler candidates and for measuring their masses and eccentricities (e.g., Cochran et…”
DENSITIES AND ECCENTRICITIES OF 139 KEPLER PLANETS FROM TRANSIT TIME VARIATIONS (2013, background): “If these transit time variations (TTVs) can be detected, they can be used to characterize planets (Agol et al. 2005; Holman & Murray 2005; Steffen et al. 2013, 2012; Fabrycky et al. 2012; Nesvornỳ et al. 2012; Lithwick et al. 2012; Xie 2013).”
TRANSIT TIMING OBSERVATIONS FROM KEPLER. VIII. CATALOG OF TRANSIT TIMING MEASUREMENTS OF THE FIRST TWELVE QUARTERS (2013, background): “However, as discussed already by Holman & Murray (2005) and Agol et al. (2005), the amplitude and periodicity of the TTV modulation depends on various parameters, in particular the mass and the orbital period of the unseen planet and how close the orbits of the two planets are to some mean motion…”
THE CLIMATE OF HD 189733b FROM FOURTEEN TRANSITS AND ECLIPSES MEASURED BY SPITZER (2010, background): “…eclipse variability (e.g. Rauscher et al. 2007), looking for transit timing variations due to other planets in the system (Agol et al. 2005; Holman and Murray 2005), improving the measurement of the atmospheric absorption (e.g. Tinetti et al. 2007), and improving the measured system…”
CHARACTERISTICS OF KEPLER PLANETARY CANDIDATES BASED ON THE FIRST DATA SET (2010, background): “Such planets might be detectable via transit timing variations of the transiting planets after several years of Kepler photometry (Agol et al. 2005, Holman and Murray 2005).”
ORBITAL PHASE VARIATIONS OF THE ECCENTRIC GIANT PLANET HAT-P-2b (2013, background): “For a configuration in which ac apl (Holman & Murray 2005), δTTVperturber ∼ 45π 16 Mc M?”
HOW THERMAL EVOLUTION AND MASS-LOSS SCULPT POPULATIONS OF SUPER-EARTHS AND SUB-NEPTUNES: APPLICATION TO THE KEPLER-11 SYSTEM AND BEYOND (2012, background): “If its mass is close to the 1σ low value, then it is possible Kepler-11c has undergone more substantial mass loss similar to Kepler-11d–f. Fortunately, as more quarters of data are processed the mass estimates from TTV will become more precise (Agol et al. 2005; Holman & Murray 2005).”
A FIRST COMPARISON OF KEPLER PLANET CANDIDATES IN SINGLE AND MULTIPLE SYSTEMS (2011, background): “…it was anticipated that NASA’s Kepler mission could find systems with more than one planet transiting the same host star (Koch & Borucki 1996; Holman & Murray 2005), the rich harvest of candidate multiples that appeared already in the first four months of Kepler data caught all of us on the…”
The Occurrence and Architecture of Exoplanetary Systems (2014, background): “3.2.2 Dynamical modeling In systems of multiple planets, the non-Keplerian effects of planet-planet interactions cause perturbations in the transit times and durations that depend sensitively on the planets’ masses and orbital elements (Holman & Murray 2005, Agol et al. 2005).”
Using Stellar Limb-Darkening to Refine the Properties of HD 209458b (2006, background): “Holman & Murray (2005) show that for HD 209458b the timescale for these oscillations is on the order of 10Y100 orbital periods, depending on the orbital parameters of the second planet.”
