A New Transiting Planet Search Applied to Kepler and K2: Discovery of Hundreds of Planet Candidates, Eclipsing Binary Stars, and a Self-lensing Binary System
Kruse, EthanSince the launch of the Kepler telescope in 2009, the transit method has become the most common way to discover exoplanets. Several groups have created planet search pipelines for both the original Kepler mission and its ... -
Characterizing Eclipsing Binaries and the Population of Planets Orbiting Around Them
Windemuth, DianaThe majority of main sequence (MS) and pre-MS (PMS) stars reside in binaries or hierarchical multiples (Abt 1979; Duchêne & Kraus 2013). Understanding planetary processes and regimes of habitability in a general framework ... -
A Ground-Based Search for Transit Timing Variations from the Apache Point Observatory
Kundurthy, Praveen (2013-02-25)The following dissertation presents work done as part of a ground-based transit follow-up program designed to look for transit timing variations in well-known transiting systems called, the Apache Point Survey of Transit ... -
The Detection and Characterization of Terrestrial Exoplanets and Exoplanetary Satellites Via Their Transits
Gordon, Tyler A.In recent decades the observation of planetary transits has emerged as the most successful method of exoplanet detection and characterization. Transits give us access to regions of parameter space that are inaccessible to ... -
The Effects of Stellar Magnetic Activity and Variability on Observations of Exoplanets
Morris, Brett MichaelThe search for life in the Universe outside of the Solar System focuses on the study of potentially habitable exoplanets. Exoplanets have been discovered principally via the transit method, which reveals planetary radii ...
