Interstellar communication network. I. Overview and assumptions
Michael Hippke
It has recently been suggested in this journal by Benford (2019) that "Lurkers" in the form of interstellar exploration probes could be present in the solar system. Similarly, extr…
Wotan: Comprehensive time-series de-trending in Python
Michael Hippke, Trevor J. David, Gijs D. Mulders +1
The detection of transiting exoplanets in time-series photometry requires the removal or modeling of instrumental and stellar noise. While instrumental systematics can be reduced u…
Transit least-squares survey -- II. Discovery and validation of 17 new sub- to super-Earth-sized planets in multi-planet systems from K2
René Heller, Michael Hippke, Kai Rodenbeck
The extended Kepler mission (K2) has revealed more than 500 transiting planets in roughly 500,000 stellar light curves. All of these were found either with the box least-squares al…
Transit Least Squares: Optimized transit detection algorithm to search for periodic transits of small planets
Michael Hippke, René Heller
We present a new method to detect planetary transits from time-series photometry, the Transit Least Squares (TLS) algorithm. TLS searches for transit-like features while taking the…
The PDS 110 observing campaign - photometric and spectroscopic observations reveal eclipses are aperiodic
Hugh P. Osborn, Matthew Kenworthy, Joseph E. Rodriguez +71
PDS 110 is a young disk-hosting star in the Orion OB1A association. Two dimming events of similar depth and duration were seen in 2008 (WASP) and 2011 (KELT), consistent with an ob…
Periodic Spectral Modulations Arise from Non-random Spacing of Spectral Absorption Lines
Michael Hippke
In recent publications, Borra (2013); Borra & Trottier (2016); Borra (2017) claimed the discovery of ultra-short (s) optical pulses originating from stars and galaxies,…
