Description
Several transiting circumbinary planets have been found in data of the Kepler mission [1-5]. Both CoRoT and Kepler have surveyed similar numbers of stars, and the photometric precision of CoRoT is sufficient that it could detect most of the known circumbinary planets; the main draw-back by CoRoT is the much shorter coverage. Still, there is a high chance that some circumbinary planets may be found in its sample of eclipsing binaries (hereafter EBs). Here we report on an ongoing search for circumbinary planets in the full CoRoT data set.
