Transit least-squares survey -- III. A transit candidate in the habitable zone of Kepler-160 and a nontransiting planet characterized by transit-timing variations

René Heller, Michael Hippke, Jantje Freudenthal +3

The Sun-like star Kepler-160 (KOI-456) has been known to host two transiting planets, Kepler-160 b and c, of which planet c shows substantial transit-timing variations (TTVs). We u…

Detection of exomoons in simulated light curves with a regularized convolutional neural network

Rasha Alshehhi, Kai Rodenbeck, Laurent Gizon +1

Many moons have been detected around planets in our Solar System, but none has been detected unambiguously around any of the confirmed extrasolar planets. We test the feasibility o…

Exomoon indicators in high-precision transit light curves

Kai Rodenbeck, René Heller, Laurent Gizon

While the solar system contains about 20 times more moons than planets, no moon has been confirmed around any of the thousands of extrasolar planets known so far. Tools for an unco…

Transit least-squares survey - I. Discovery and validation of an Earth-sized planet in the four-planet system K2-32 near the 1:2:5:7 resonance

René Heller, Kai Rodenbeck, Michael Hippke

We apply, for the first time, the Transit Least Squares (TLS) algorithm to search for new transiting exoplanets. TLS is a successor to the Box Least Squares (BLS) algorithm, which…

An alternative interpretation of the exomoon candidate signal in the combined Kepler and Hubble data of Kepler-1625

René Heller, Kai Rodenbeck, Giovanni Bruno

Kepler and Hubble photometry of a total of four transits by the Jupiter-sized Kepler-1625b have recently been interpreted to show evidence of a Neptune-sized exomoon. The profound…

Sectoral r modes and periodic RV variations of Sun-like stars

A. F. Lanza, L. Gizon, T. V. Zaqarashvili +2

Radial velocity (RV) measurements are used to search for planets orbiting late-type main-sequence stars and confirm the transiting planets. The most advanced spectrometers are appr…

Revisiting the exomoon candidate signal around Kepler-1625b

Kai Rodenbeck, René Heller, Michael Hippke +1

Transit photometry of the exoplanet candidate Kepler-1625b has recently been interpreted to show hints of a moon. We aim to clarify whether the exomoon-like signal is really caused…

Magnetic fields during galaxy mergers

Kai Rodenbeck, Dominik R. G. Schleicher

Galaxy mergers are expected to play a central role for the evolution of galaxies, and may have a strong impact on their magnetic fields. We present the first grid-based 3D magneto-…
