The Transits of Extrasolar Planets with Moons (Hardcover, 2011 Ed.): David M. Kipping The Transits of Extrasolar Planets with Moons (Hardcover, 2011 Ed.)
David M. Kipping
R2,882 Discovery Miles 28 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Can we detect the moons of extrasolar planets? For two decades, astronomers have made enormous progress in the detection and characterisation of exoplanetary systems but the identification of an "exomoon" is notably absent. In this thesis, David Kipping shows how transiting planets may be used to infer the presence of exomoons through deviations in the time and duration of the planetary eclipses. A detailed account of the transit model, potential distortions, and timing techniques is covered before the analytic forms for the timing variations are derived. It is shown that habitable-zone exomoons above 0.2 Earth-masses are detectable with the Kepler space telescope using these new timing techniques.
