Caption: Figure 7.

Top: midpoint timing distributions from Figure 6 plotted across time. The width of the blue region indicates the posterior probability distribution. The purple curves show sinusoid fits to 1000 random draws of these distributions. The timings display a sinusoidal variation suggestive of systematic TTVs. Bottom: distributions of the amplitude and periodicity from fitting 105 random draws. A zero-amplitude line (i.e., fixed-period ephemeris) is disfavored at 5.7σ.
