Predictable patterns in planetary transit timing variations and transit duration variations due to exomoons

We present new ways to identify single and multiple moons around extrasolar planets using planetary transit timing variations (TTVs) and transit duration variations (TDVs). For planets with one moon, ...

Discovery of potential exoplanet companion to hot Jupiter TOI-2818b offers clues to planet formation

Scientists from UNSW Sydney have located a potential new exoplanet—a planet that orbits a star outside of our solar ...

Prospects for Finding New Earths Boosted By Brand New Planet-Finding Technique

A team of astronomers from Germany, Bulgaria and Poland have used a completely new technique to find an exotic extrasolar planet. The same approach is sensitive enough to find planets as small as the ...

Transit Timing Variation of Near-Resonance Planetary Pairs. II. Confirmation of 30 planets in 15 Multiple Planet Systems

Following on from Paper I in our series (Xie 2012), we report the confirmation by Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) of a further 30 planets in 15 multiple planet systems, using the publicly available ...

The Detection and Characterization of a Nontransiting Planet by Transit Timing Variations

The Kepler mission is monitoring the brightness of ~150,000 stars, searching for evidence of planetary transits. As part of the Hunt for Exomoons with Kepler (HEK) project, we report a planetary ...
