This paper is divided into two parts: the first part in- vestigates the stability of Trojan planets in binary systems, whereas the second part is devoted to the possible detection of Trojan planets by the help of eclipse timing variations (ETV).

Nevertheless, ETV signals of problem for possible Trojan planets with one Mars mass, for brown dwarfs would be detectable too. We found that for all 1 Msun (upper graph) 2 Msun (middle graph), and 3 Msun (lower stable initial conditions an Earth-like Trojan planet would graph).

Unexpectedly, we found that even Tro- jan planets with Mars mass would be detectable, but under ington Visual Double ’ (Mason et al. 2001). favourable circumstances.
