UR: Using Gaussian Processes to Study Exoplanet Transits and Stellar Variability Simultaneously
In the latest of our #UndergradResearch series, discover how Larissa Palethorpe finds a way to get more information out of transit light curves.

With a new generation of space and ground based telescopes on the horizon, we will soon have the tools to efficiently begin looking for life’s signatures in exoplanet atmospheres. Where should we look first to maximize our chances?
Could planetary rings explain why the exoplanet HIP 41378 f appears to have the density of cotton candy? Check out today’s paper to find out!
TESS confirms its first discovery of a planet orbiting not one but two stars. These systems were long thought to be highly unstable. So, is there any chance for Tatooine out there?
Out of all the stars around us, which ones would be able to find Earth with the transit method? Today’s paper makes a list, which can help us with future SETI efforts!
TESS spots the brightest multi-planet host yet (not including the Sun)!
