Systems With Possible Transit Variations
The following extrasolar planets have been suggested to have variations in the parameters of their transits across the face of their parent stars which may be caused by perturbations from an additional planet. Note that the planet designations listed in this table refer to the (confirmed) transiting planets: it is the additional perturbing planet that is unconfirmed. The discovery year refers to the discovery of the transit variations.
| Star | Constellation | Right ascension |
Declination | Distance |

| OGLE-TR-111 | Carina | 10h 53m 01s | −61° 24′ 20″ | 5000 | b | 2008 | Unconfirmed second transiting planet. | |
| Gliese 436 | Leo | 11h 42m 11s | +26° 42′ 23″ | 33.48 | b | 2008 | Planet candidate Gliese 436 c has been retracted, but alternate solutions are possible. | |

Famous quotes containing the words systems, transit and/or variations:
“We have done scant justice to the reasonableness of cannibalism. There are in fact so many and such excellent motives possible to it that mankind has never been able to fit all of them into one universal scheme, and has accordingly contrived various diverse and contradictory systems the better to display its virtues.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
