The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 2016
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will discover thousands of exoplanets in orbit around the brightest stars in the sky. This first-ever spaceborne all-sky transit survey will identify planets ranging from Earth-sized to gas giants. TESS stars will be far brighter than those surveyed by previous missions; thus, TESS planets will be easier

Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) [PDF]

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) will discover thousands of exoplanets in orbit around the brightest stars in the sky. In a two-year survey, TESS will monitor more than 500,000 stars for temporary drops in brightness caused by planetary transits.

Astrosat: forecasting satellite transits for optical astronomical observations [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021
ABSTRACT The impact of large-scale constellations of satellites, is a concern for ground-based astronomers. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of satellites in low-Earth orbit and this trend is set to continue.

Hypersatellite and satellite transitions in cobalt

Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 2001
An accurate measurement of energy shifts and relative intensities of hypersatellite and satellite transitions in cobalt have been made. The use of radioactive ^(59)Ni, which decays mostly by the nuclear K-electron capture to cobalt and the low-probability processes of ejection of the other K-electron allowed the observation of decays among very pure ...

Determination of the size, mass, and density of "exomoons" from photometric transit timing variations [PDF]

, 2007
Precise photometric measurements of the upcoming space missions allow the size, mass, and density of satellites of exoplanets to be determined. Here we present such an analysis using the photometric transit timing variation ($TTV_p$).

Hypersatellite and satellite transitions in xenon atoms

Physical Review A, 1990
Decay of double-K-shell-vacancy states in xenon atoms, created in the decay of 131Cs, was investigated. The measurements were performed with a pair of germanium detectors, a fast-slow coincidence system, and a three-parameter pulse-height analyzer. In the analysis of the two-dimensional E1-E2 spectrum, improved least-squares routines were applied.

Transit Light Curves with Finite Integration Time: Fisher Information Analysis [PDF]

, 2014
Kepler has revolutionized the study of transiting planets with its unprecedented photometric precision on more than 150,000 target stars. Most of the transiting planet candidates detected by Kepler have been observed as long-cadence targets with 30 ...
