YOUNG Star detrending for Transiting Exoplanet Recovery (YOUNGSTER) II: Using Self-Organising Maps to explore young star variability in Sectors 1-13 of TESS data

no code implementations31 Jan 2022 Matthew P. Battley, David J. Armstrong, Don Pollacco

This technique was found to be particularly effective at separating the signals of young eclipsing binaries and potential transiting objects from stellar variability, a list of which are provided in this paper.

CHEOPS observations of TESS primary mission monotransits

1 code implementation17 Mar 2020 Benjamin F. Cooke, Don Pollacco, Monika Lendl, Thibault Kuntzer, Andrea Fortier

We set out to look at the overlap between CHEOPS sky coverage and TESS primary mission monotransits to determine what fraction of TESS monotransits may be observed by CHEOPS.

Tidally Distorted Exoplanets: Density Corrections for Short-Period Hot-Jupiters based solely on Observable Parameters

1 code implementation8 May 2014 John Burton, Christopher Watson, Alan Fitzsimmons, Don Pollacco, Victoria Moulds, Stuart Littlefair, Peter Wheatley

The close proximity of short period hot-Jupiters to their parent star means they are subject to extreme tidal forces.
