Marginalized planet-to-star radius ratio posteriors for low-SNR transiting planets via dimensionality reduction
Oryna Ivashtenko, Barak Zackay
Occurrence rate estimates of small long-period planets rely on the radii of low signal-to-noise ratio transit candidates whose posteriors should be propagated into the population i…
A Linearized Approach to Radial-Velocity Extraction. II: Shot-Noise-Limited Precision via Spectral Factorization
Sahar Shahaf, Barak Zackay
We generalize the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) formalism for radial velocity extraction to cases where the underlying spectral components are unknown. The method factorizes…
An Independent Search for Small Long-period Planets in Kepler Data I: Detection Pipeline
Oryna Ivashtenko, Barak Zackay
The unprecedented photometric precision of Kepler mission allows searching for Earth-like planets. However, it remains difficult to distinguish these low signal-to-noise planets fr…
A search for Kuiper Belt occultations using the Weizmann Fast Astronomical Survey Telescope
Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, David Polishook +2
Measuring the size distribution of small (km-scale) KBOs can help constrain models of Solar System formation and planetary migration. Such small, distant bodies are hard to detect…
