Title: Short-period Kepler exoplanet candidates: search for a circum-planetary material
Keyword(s): Stars: planetary systems, techniques: photometric
Pages: 431 -- 433

Abstract: This article deals with a sample of 20 short-period exoplanet candidates with a period similar to KIC012557548b from the Kepler mission. KIC012557548b is an exoplanet candidate which shows a variable and asymmetric transit. It is most probably due to a comet-like tail emerging from the exoplanet. Our main aim is to search for comet-like tails similar to KIC012557548b, or another form of circum-planetary material.
