Feasibility of transit photometry of nearby debris discs [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014
Dust in debris discs is constantly replenished by collisions between larger objects. In this paper, we investigate a method to detect these collisions. We generate models based on recent results on the Fomalhaut debris disc, where we simulate a background star transiting behind the disc, due to the proper motion of Fomalhaut.

The Breakthrough Listen Search for Intelligent Life: Detection and Characterization of Anomalous Transits in Kepler Lightcurves

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Never before has the detection and characterization of exoplanets via transit photometry been as promising and feasible as it is now, due to the increasing breadth and sensitivity of time domain optical surveys.

Precision photometry for planetary transits

open access: yes, 2007
We review the state of the art in follow-up photometry for planetary transit searches. Three topics are discussed: (1) Photometric monitoring of planets discovered by radial velocity to detect possible transits (2) Follow-up photometry of candidates from photometric transit searches to weed out eclipsing binaries and false positives (3) High-precision ...

Doomed Worlds. II. Reassessing Suggestions of Orbital Decay for TrES-5 b

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
TrES-5 b is one of only three ultrahot Jupiters with suggestions of a possibly decreasing orbital period that have persisted through multiple independent analyses.

Theoretical maximum capacity as a benchmark for empty vehicle redistribution in personal rapid transit [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
A personal rapid transit system uses compact, computer-guided vehicles running on dedicated guideways to carry individuals or small groups directly between pairs of stations.

Validating the Orbital Periods of the Coolest TESS Planet Candidates

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
When an exoplanet passes in front of its host star, the resulting eclipse causes an observable decrease in stellar flux, and when multiple such transits are detected, the orbital period of the exoplanet can be determined. Over the past seven years NASA’s
