Candidates for a new planet in TESS sector 107

From the candidates of iteration 2 (the 66 that passed automatic vetting, the 43 new TLS signals and the 146 not fully vetted), choose the ones most likely to be real new planets and not yet known. 1. Remove every star that is already a known planet, a TOI or a community TOI (ExoFOP, NASA Exoplanet Archive). 2. Check the rest more deeply: odd/even depths, secondary eclipse, transit shape, nearby stars and contamination (Gaia DR3, RUWE), centroid shifts, and the same signal in other TESS sectors. 3. Estimate for each how likely it is to be a planet (for example a false-positive probability with TRICERATOPS or an equivalent) and rank them. 4. Deliver the top 20 as a table: TIC ID, period (days), depth, number of transits, planet radius (Earth radii), probability of being a planet, and one sentence on why it ranks there. 5. Always deliver the table, even if few pass; mark all as unconfirmed candidates.

  1. Iteration 2 · S107 iteration 3: vet and rank the top-20 unconfirmed new candidates

    Completed
    • Agent 1 · director

      Take the existing iteration-2 candidate list (66+43+146), cross-match against the NASA Exoplanet Archive, ExoFOP TOI and CTOI lists, run light-curve, Gaia and other-sector vetting, compute a planet probability, and rank. No new blind search is run.
