Abstract

Identifying long-period eclipsing binaries with space-based photometry is still a challenge even in the century of space telescopes due to the relatively short observation sequences and short lifetime of these missions. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) space telescope is an appropriate tool to supplement previous space-based observations. In this paper, we report the first results of the eclipse timing variation (ETV) analyses of eclipsing binaries (EBs) measured by CoRoT and TESS space telescopes. Among the 1428 EB candidates we found four new potential triple candidates, for which ETV was analysed and fitted by the well-known light-travel-time effect (LTTE). One of them shows significant phase shift in its folded light curve which required extra care. In this paper, we also present some other systems showing significant ETV signals that could be explained by mass transfer or apsidal motion.
