We present the latest results from the Kepler search for planets in binary star systems, including transiting and non-transiting cases. In many cases, eclipse timing variations (ETVs) indicate the presence of a third body in the system. If the O-C diagram exhibits a small amplitude and short-period signal, that third body may be planetary. Kepler-16, along with several other candidate systems, will be discussed.
Kepler was selected as the 10th mission of the Discovery Program. Funding for this mission is provided by NASA, Science Mission Directorate. The authors also acknowledge support from the Kepler Participating Scientists Program via NASA grant NNX08AR14G.
