Exomoon signal in the Kepler 1513 system might be caused by a second exoplanet

Star system: Kepler 1513 | Distance from the Sun: 1147 light years

Exoplanet Kepler 1513 b was discovered in 2016. Observed transit timing variations were thought to be originating in planet-moon interaction. New observations show that better explanation for the variations is an existence of a second, non-transiting planet in the system.
