The existence of exoplanets around evolved objects is one of the most interesting subjects from the viewpoint of planetary system evolution and its fate. What happens to the exoplanets engulfed in the host star envelope during red giant branch (RGB) phase? Can planets survive this evolutionary stage of the host star? Here, we are showing that at least some of the exoplanetary candidates recently found around a couple of sdBV stars, KIC 5807616 and KIC 10001893, might not be exoplanets after all. One “exoplanetary signal” visible in the light curve FT of KIC 10001893 can be just a frequency combination of stellar pulsation modes, while others are likely artifacts. Similarly, low frequency signals found in KIC 5807616 light curve FT, are beating frequencies of stellar oscillations, rather than resulting from the exoplanetary radiation. We also analyzed frequency and amplitude changes of the signal around 0.256 c/d (∼3.9 day) visible in the light curve FT of the KIC 10449976 sdO star. Our simulations show that it is difficult to reproduce the observed signal frequency variations by the weather changes in the exoplanet atmosphere.
