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. | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Detecting moons; Exomoons; Exoplanets; Extrasolar moons; Extrasolar planets; Habitable moons; Kepler disco | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-22269-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-27120-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-22269-6Series ISSN 2190-5053 Series E-ISSN 2190-5061 | issn_series | 2190-5053 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE |
