Kepler high precision measurements allow the detection of the minute photometric modulations correlated with the orbit, induced by low-mass companions down to the planetary mass range. Those modulations include the beaming effect, tidal ellipsoidal distortion, and reflection or heating of the companion. They represent an opportunity to study these systems in detail using Kepler photometry alone. For transiting systems the known ephemeris allows a more accurate measurement of the orbital modulations amplitude. I will present results from a search for photometric orbital modulations, including the beaming effect, in short-period Jupiter-mass transiting planets.
