The EPOCh (Extrasolar Planet Observation and Characterization) component of the NASA EPOXI mission used the HRI camera aboard the Deep Impact spacecraft to observe seven transiting exoplanet systems from January through August 2008. The goal of these observations was to construct precise, rapid cadence, high phase coverage light curves. These light curves allow us to search for additional planets in these systems, through direct (additional transits) and indirect (transit timing variation) methods. Here we present the analysis of the observations of GJ436, a particularly interesting system with a proposed second planet. We also present the analysis of the observations of HATP7, including parallel analyses of the secondary eclipse measurements in the optical with EPOXI and in the infrared with Spitzer/IRAC.
