Using Astrometry to Break Degeneracies in Stellar Surface Mapping

Jamila Taaki, Lia Corrales, Alfred O. Hero

Astrometric jitter noise arises when starspots on a rotating stellar surface move in and out of view, shifting the photocenter. This noise may limit our ability to detect and weigh…

Efficient Exoplanet Imaging Simulations of the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Jamila Taaki, Farzad Kamalabadi, Athol Kemball +2

Direct imaging simulations of starshades and other proposed mission concepts are needed to characterize planet detection performance and inform mission design trades. In order to a…

Identifiability of Rotating Stellar Surfaces from Astrometric Jitter

Jamila Taaki, Lia Corrales, Alfred Hero

Astrometry measures shifts in a star's photocentre and can be used to detect reflex motion due to orbiting exoplanets. Brightness asymmetries (e.g. starspots) rotating in and out o…

A Search for Exoplanet Candidates in TESS 2-min Light Curves using Joint Bayesian Detection

Jamila S. Taaki, Athol J. Kemball, Farzad Kamalabadi

In this work, we apply an exploratory joint Bayesian transit detector (Taaki et al. 2020), previously evaluated using Kepler data, to the 2 min simple aperture photometry light cur…

Robust Detrending of Spatially Correlated Systematics in Kepler Light Curves Using Low-Rank Methods

Jamila Taaki, Athol Kemball, Farzad Kamalabadi

Light curves produced by wide-field exoplanet transit surveys such as CoRoT, Kepler, and TESS are affected by sensor-wide systematic noise which is correlated both spatiotemporally…

Bayesian Methods for Joint Exoplanet Transit Detection and Systematic Noise Characterization

Jamila Taaki, Farzad Kamalabadi, Athol J. Kemball

The treatment of systematic noise is a significant aspect of transit exoplanet data processing due to the signal strength of systematic noise relative to a transit signal. Typicall…
