Transit Clairvoyance: Enhancing TESS follow-up using artificial neural networks

David M. Kipping, Christopher Lam

The upcoming TESS mission is expected to find thousands of transiting planets around bright stars, yet for three-quarters of the fields observed the temporal coverage will limit di…

MOST Observations of our Nearest Neighbor: Flares on Proxima Centauri

James R. A. Davenport, David M. Kipping, Dimitar Sasselov +2

We present a study of white light flares from the active M5.5 dwarf Proxima Centauri using the Canadian microsatellite MOST. Using 37.6 days of monitoring data from 2014 and 2015,…

No Conclusive Evidence for Transits of Proxima b in MOST photometry

David M. Kipping, Chris Cameron, Joel D. Hartman +21

The analysis of Proxima Centauri's radial velocities recently led Anglada-Escudé et al. (2016) to claim the presence of a low mass planet orbiting the Sun's nearest star once every…

Probabilistic inference of basic stellar parameters: application to flickering stars

Ruth Angus, David Kipping

The relations between observable stellar parameters are usually assumed to be deterministic. That is, given an infinitely precise measurement of independent variable, `', and so…

A Cloaking Device for Transiting Planets

David M. Kipping, Alex Teachey

The transit method is presently the most successful planet discovery and characterization tool at our disposal. Other advanced civilizations would surely be aware of this technique…

Probabilistic Forecasting of the Masses and Radii of Other Worlds

Jingjing Chen, David M. Kipping

Mass and radius are two of the most fundamental properties of an astronomical object. Increasingly, new planet discoveries are being announced with a measurement of one of these te…
