Alleviating the transit timing variation bias in transit surveys

چکیده

Transit timing variations (TTVs) can provide useful information for systems observed by transit, as they allow us to put constraints on the masses and eccentricities of planets, or even constrain existence non-transiting companions. However, TTVs also act a detection bias that prevent small planets in transit surveys would otherwise be detected standard algorithms such Boxed Least Square algorithm if their orbit was not perturbed. This is especially present with long baseline, Kepler , some TESS sectors, upcoming PLATO mission. Here we introduce method robust large TTVs, illustrate its use recovering confirming pair resonant super-Earths ten-hour around Kepler-1705 (prev. KOI-4772). The based neural network trained recover tracks low-signal-to-noise-ratio (S/N) perturbed river diagrams. We parameters these candidates fitting light curve. individual S/N Kepler-1705b c are about three times lower than all previously known 3 h more, pushing boundaries recovery small, dynamically active planets. Recovering this type object essential obtaining complete picture planetary systems, solving often taken into account statistical studies exoplanet populations. In addition, means mass estimates which studying internal structure discovered surveys. Finally, show due strong orbital perturbations, it possible spin outer planet trapped sub- super-synchronous spin–orbit resonance. have important consequences climate because non-synchronous implies flux star spread over whole surface.

Observational Window Functions in Planet Transit Surveys

The probability that an existing planetary transit is detectable in one’s data is sensitively dependent upon the window function of the observations. We quantitatively characterize and provide visualizations of the dependence of this probability as a function of orbital period upon several observing strategy and astrophysical parameters, such as length of observing run, observing cadence, lengt...

Efficient analysis in planet transit surveys

With the growing number of projects dedicated to the search for extrasolar planets via transits, there is a need to develop fast, automatic, robust methods with a statistical background in order to efficiently do the analysis. We propose a modified analysis of variance (AoV) test particularly suitable for the detection of planetary transits in stellar light curves. We show how savings of labor ...

Transit Timing to First Order in Eccentricity

Characterization of transiting planets with transit timing variations (TTVs) requires understanding how to translate the observed TTVs into masses and orbital elements of the planets. This can be challenging in multi-planet transiting systems, but fortunately these systems tend to be nearly planeparallel and low eccentricity. Here we present a novel derivation of analytic formulae for TTVs that...

Transit Timing Variations and orbital stability

We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically significant anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs), which demonstrates that the planet candidates are in the same system, and long-term dynamical stability, which places limits on the masses of the candidates—showing that they are planetary. All of these newly confirmed planetary systems have orbit...
