Building a Predictive Model for the Detection of Possible Outer Planets in Known 2-body Resonant Systems

Abstract: This project has found evidence of trends in known 3-planet systems with inner planets in a Mean Motion Resonance in an effort to construct a predictive model with the ability to propose periods of possible outer planets in currently known 2-planet MMR systems. Using light curve data collected from the Kepler/K2 mission, periodograms and transit … Read more
