People powered planet hunting with TESS
- Abstract:
-
To date, over 5000 exoplanets have been confirmed, and studies of their characteris- tics have unveiled an extremely wide range of masses, sizes, system architectures, and orbital periods. More than two-thirds of these known planets were identified using dedicated planet detection algorithms that search for transit events in data obtained by space-based survey satellites, such as the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). These automated transit detection algorithms are, however, st...
