Planet Hunters | How do we rule out false positives using the background flux? Episode 15 @PlanetHuntersCoffee | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
A false positive is something that looks like a planet transit but isn't one - how can we check if what we're looking at is real?
In this episode, Nora shows Kassie how to rule out false positives using the background flux. There's some new code for this week which can be downloaded from our website: https://www.planethunters.coffee/false-positives
In the last episode, we learned about different transit shapes - if you missed it, you can catch up here: youtu.be/MX-8UWk0lRo
