    Abstract

    This article deals with a sample of 20 shortperiod exoplanet candidates with a period similar to KIC012557548b from the Kepler mission. KIC012557548b is an exoplanet candidate which shows a variable and asymmetric transit. It is most probably due to a comet-like tail emerging from the exoplanet. Our main aim is to search for comet-like tails similar to KIC012557548b, or another form of circum-planetary material.
