Detectability of Exoplanetary Transits from Radial Velocity Surveys
Of the known transiting extra-solar planets, a few have been detected through photometric follow-up observations of radial velocity planets. Perhaps the best known of these is the transiting exoplanet HD 209458b. For hot Jupiters (periods less than ∼ 5 days), the a priori information that 10% of these planets will transit their parent star due to the geometric transit probability leads to an es...
متن کاملThe Detectability of Transit Depth Variations Due to Exoplanetary Oblateness and Spin Precession
Knowledge of an exoplanet’s oblateness and obliquity would give clues about its formation and internal structure. In principle, a light curve of a transiting planet bears information about the planet’s shape, but previous work has shown that the oblateness-induced signal will be extremely difficult to detect. Here we investigate the potentially larger signals due to planetary spin precession. T...
متن کاملImportance of defect detectability in Positron Emission Tomography imaging of abdominal lesions
Objective(s): This study was designed to assess defect detectability in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of abdominal lesions. Methods: A National Electrical Manufactures Association International Electrotechnical Commission phantom was used. The simulated abdominal lesion was scanned for 10 min using dynamic list-mode acquisition method. Images, acquired with scan duration of 1-10 mi...
متن کاملRaman Scattering by Molecular Hydrogen and Nitrogen in Exoplanetary Atmospheres
An important source of opacity in exoplanet atmospheres at short visible and near-UV wavelengths is Rayleigh scattering of light on molecules. It is accompanied by a related, albeit weaker process – Raman scattering. We analyze the signatures of Raman scattering imprinted in the reflected light and the geometric albedo of exoplanets, which could provide information about atmospheric properties....
متن کاملGraph spectra and the detectability of community structure in networks
We study networks that display community structure--groups of nodes within which connections are unusually dense. Using methods from random matrix theory, we calculate the spectra of such networks in the limit of large size, and hence demonstrate the presence of a phase transition in matrix methods for community detection, such as the popular modularity maximization method. The transition separ...
