Technically, the planets are not orbiting the sun, but a barycenter. The barycenter of the solar system is typically near the sun and not at its center, as normally promoted.

Planets of this size are largely unexplored beyond our solar system, making it a significant step forward as astronomers search for Earth-mass planets around sun-like stars, Basant said.

A coronal mass ejection, or CME, erupting out into space from the sun on August 31, 2012. This composite image also includes a representation of Earth to show the CME's size compared to our planet.

One such planet that has been found to experience TTVs is Kepler-725b. It's a gas giant planet orbiting a yellow sun -like star that was discovered by the now-defunct Kepler spacecraft.

It consists of two planets orbiting a star similar to our Sun: K2-360 b: An ultra-short period "super-Earth" - a rocky planet larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune - about 1.6 times the size ...

Just 5.96 light-years from Earth sits Barnard's Star, a red dwarf with a fifth of the Sun's diameter and even less of its mass. Considered a solitary star for its lack of stellar companions ...
