Fourier-Domain Study of Anti-correlated Transit Timing Variations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method to confirm the planetary nature of objects in systems with multiple transiting exoplanet candidates. This method involves a FourierDomain analysis of the deviations in the transit times from a constant period that result from dynamical interactions within the system. The combination of observed anti-correlations in the transit times and mass constraints from dynamical stability allow us to claim the discovery of four planetary systems Kepler–25, Kepler–26, Kepler–27, and Kepler–28, containing eight planets and one additional planet candidate.

متن کاملThe Relation between the Transit Depths of Kic 12557548b & the Stellar Rotation Period
Kawahara and collaborators analyzed the transits of the candidate disintegrating Mercury-mass planet KIC 12557548b and suggested that the transit depths were correlated with the phase of the stellar rotation. We have carried out a more extensive and comprehensive analysis of the transit depths of KIC 12557548b and confirm that there is indeed a robust, statistically significant signal in the tr...
متن کاملTransit Signal Priority: Proposing a Novel Algorithm to Decrease Delay and Environmental Impacts in BRT Route Intersections
Intersections are considered as the most critical parts of the bus rapid transit (BRT) system. Transit signal priority is one of the efficient solutions to reduce BRT fleet delays at intersections. The aim of this study is to propose a new algorithm to decrease the BRT fleet delays at actuated intersections, while reducing the negative impacts on different approaches. The adaptive strategy is a...
متن کاملTransit Timing Variations and orbital stability
We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically significant anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs), which demonstrates that the planet candidates are in the same system, and long-term dynamical stability, which places limits on the masses of the candidates—showing that they are planetary. All of these newly confirmed planetary systems have orbit...
متن کاملTransit Timing Variations for Planets near Eccentricity-type Mean Motion Resonances
We derive the transit timing variations (TTVs) of two planets near a second-order mean motion resonance (MMR) on nearly circular orbits. We show that the TTVs of each planet are given by sinusoids with a frequency of jn j n 2 2 1 ( ) , where j 3 is an integer characterizing the resonance and n2 and n1 are the mean motions of the outer and inner planets, respectively. The amplitude of the TTV ...
