Understanding Results
Learn how to interpret the output from Larun's detection system.
| Parameter | Description | Typical Range |
|---|---|---|
| Confidence | Model's certainty that a transit is present | 0-100% |
| Period | Estimated orbital period from BLS analysis | 0.5-50 days |
| Depth | Transit depth indicating planet size | 0.01-3% |
| Duration | Time the planet takes to cross the star | 1-12 hours |
| SNR | Signal-to-noise ratio of the detection | >7 for reliable |
Transit Search Workflow
The transit search workflow uses the Box Least Squares (BLS) algorithm combined with machine learning to identify potential planetary transits in photometric data.
How It Works
Candidate Vetting
Not all detections are real planets. The vetting process helps distinguish genuine planetary signals from false positives like eclipsing binaries, stellar variability, or instrumental artifacts.
Disposition Categories
Passes all vetting tests. Ready for follow-up observations and potential confirmation.
Some tests inconclusive. Requires additional analysis or observations.
Failed one or more vetting tests. Likely not a planetary transit.
Vetting Tests
- •Odd/Even Test: Compares transit depths of odd and even transits to detect eclipsing binaries
- •Secondary Eclipse: Searches for a secondary dip indicating a self-luminous companion
- •Centroid Motion: Checks if the signal comes from the target star or a nearby source
- •Transit Shape: Verifies the transit has the expected limb-darkening profile
- •Stellar Parameters: Confirms derived planet size is physically plausible
Habitability Analysis
For validated candidates, Larun can estimate habitability potential based on orbital parameters and stellar characteristics.
Key Factors
Habitable Zone
Is the planet in the region where liquid water could exist on the surface?
Planet Size
Rocky planets (0.5-1.5 Earth radii) are more likely to be habitable.
Stellar Type
K and G-type stars provide stable conditions for long periods.
Orbital Eccentricity
Circular orbits provide more stable temperature conditions.
