Scientific paper

When multiple planets are present in a transiting exoplanetary system, dynamical interactions among the planets will cause variations in the interval between successive planetary transits. These transit timing variations (TTVs) are can be used to characterize the orbits and masses of the different interacting bodies. I present the results of ongoing investigations of the TTV signal in exoplanet systems from the Kepler mission. For some systems, TTVs may be used to identify nontransiting planets, to confirm the planet-nature of candidates, and to identify or constrain important orbital parameters.
