Abstract (from CDS):

We report 18 new primary minima timing observations of the short-period eclipsing binary system NY Virginis. We combined these minima with previously published primary minima to update circumbinary exoplanet models in this system based on O - C timing variations. We performed a nonlinear least-squares minimization search using a quadratic ephemeris and either one or two exoplanets. The only model with an acceptable fit includes a period derivative {dot}P=2.83×10–12 and two planets in eccentric orbits e = 0.15, 0.15 with minimum masses of 2.7 and 5.5 Jovian masses. Analysis of the orbit stability shows that this solution is stable for at least 108 years, but a small increase in eccentricity (e >= 0.20) for either planet renders the orbits unstable in less than 106 years. A number of model parameters are significantly degenerate, so additional observations are required to determine planetary parameters with high statistical confidence.
