Secondary eclipses in the CoRoT light curves

Blog Article

We identify and characterize secondary eclipses in the original light curves of published CoRoT planets using uniform detection and evaluation criteria.Our analysis is based on a Bayesian statistics: the eclipse search emtek 2113 is carried out using Bayesian model selection, and the characterization of the plausible eclipse candidates using Bayesian parameter estimation.We discover statistically significant eclipse events for lightning to usb apple two planets, CoRoT-6b and CoRoT-11b, and for one brown dwarf, CoRoT-15b.We also find marginally significant eclipse events passing our plausibility criteria for CoRoT-3b, 13b, 18b, and 21b, and confirm the previously published CoRoT-1b and CoRoT-2b eclipses.
