We examine the potential for planet detection using lightcurve arrival times around a variety of stars in the Kepler field. Arrival time analysis has been used to find planets around pulsars and sub-dwarf stars. When a variable star is orbiting the center of mass of a planetary system, its distance from the earth changes periodically. This change in distance is observed as a change in the observed arrival time of otherwise stable pulsations here on Earth. The sensitivity of the technique is set by the jitter of the pulsation period and phase, and the periods of detectable planets by the long term stability of the pulsation modes. We examine the limits that can be placed of a variety of variable stars using public data from the first quarter of observations by the Kepler space telescope.
