KOI-13.01 is a recently discovered massive planet in a 1.76 day orbit around a bright A type star. The close proximity of the planet to its host star induces low-amplitude photometric variability along the planet's orbit produced by several mechanisms, which we refer to collectively as orbital photometry. We show that this allows the detection of the planet using Kepler high-precision photometry while ignoring the in eclipse (transit and occultation) measurements. This independent detection of KOI-13.01 using orbital photometry demonstrates how similar non-transiting star-planet systems can be detected using Kepler photometry, where the data obtained during the lifetime of the mission will allow detection of planets whose mass is close to the one Jupiter level.
