instead to quantify the probability of a false positive#for instance, a pair of undetected binary stars whose regular eclipses mimic a planetary signal.
binary stars and other astronomical objects, the researchers calculated the probability that the signal collected from Kepler represents a true planet."
In a binary star system the two partners are locked in an orbital embrace. Astronomers have found a handful of planets that orbit both partners in close binary pairs.
There's absolutely no doubt that what we've detected is a rocky planet in a binary star system adds Gould.
such as the transit of exoplanets across other stars, binary stars that eclipse, gamma ray bursts and so on. Capturing the changes associated with these events requires a much more rapid way of photographing the entire sky.
