Detecting and confirming terrestrial planets is incredibly difficult due to their tiny size and
mass relative to Sun-like host stars. However, recent instrumental advancements are making …

Context. Stellar granulation generates fluctuations in photometric and spectroscopic data
whose properties depend on the stellar type, composition, and evolutionary state …

Context. Magnetic activity and surface flows at different scales pertub radial velocity
measurements. This affects the detectability of low-mass exoplanets. Aims. In these flows …

An important limitation of standard multiple testing procedures is that the null distribution
should be known. Here, we consider a null distribution-free approach for multiple testing in …

Context. The detectability of exoplanets and the determination of their projected mass in
radial velocity are affected by stellar magnetic activity and photospheric dynamics. Among …

As long as astronomers have searched for exoplanets, the intrinsic variability of host stars
has interfered with the ability to reliably detect and confirm exoplanets. One particular source …

The sensitivities of two periodograms are compared for weak signal planet detection in
transit surveys: the widely used Box Least Squares (BLS) algorithm following light curve …

The time when TRAPPIST-1 news became official on 22.02. 2017, detection of planets
beyond Milky Way Galaxy or planets orbiting around their own sun-like stars became one of …

Classical multiple testing theory prescribes the null distribution, which is often too stringent
an assumption for nowadays large scale experiments. This paper presents theoretical …

Context. Convective motions at the stellar surface generate a stochastic colored noise
source in the radial velocity (RV) data. This noise impedes the detection of small exoplanets …
