Searching for planets around sdB stars
Abstract
We present the results of our search for planets around subdwarf B stars. We look for wobbles of the sdB stars seen as sinusoidal variations of the pulsation periods. For a p-mode dominated pulsating sdB star we did not find any signatures of a companion and we marked KIC 10139564 to be a single star. In the case of the g-mode dominated objects the method turned out to inefficient not leading to any conclusion on the planet existence.
