Transit timing variations and linear ephemerides of confirmed Kepler transiting exoplanets

2019 
We determined new linear ephemerides of transiting exoplanets using long-cadence de-trended data from quarters Q1 to Q17 of Kepler mission. We analysed TTV diagrams of 2098 extrasolar planets. The TTVs of 121 objects were excluded (because of insufficient data-points, influence of stellar activity, etc). Finally, new linear ephemerides of 1977 exoplanets from Kepler archive are presented. The significant linear trend was observed on TTV diagrams of approximately 35% of studied exoplanets. Knowing correct linear ephemeris is principal for successful follow-up observations of transits. Residual TTV diagrams of 64 analysed exoplanets shows periodic variation, 43 of these TTV planets were not reported yet.
