摘要：
We present results from an on-going search for planetary companions around pulsating white dwarf stars. A subset of these stars exhibit extreme stability in the amplitude and phase of some of their pulsation modes; a planet can be detected around such a star by searching for periodic variations in the arrival time of these pulsations. We show limits on companions greater than a few Jupiter masses for two stars from our initial sample of 15. One star shows a variation in arrival time consistent with a 2 M-J planet in a 4.5 year orbit.
