Time has been put aside for groups to get together to discuss some of the most important questions within the topic of the workshop: single, shallow and strange transits.
Monday
17:30 – 18:00
We will brainstorm together and come up with some of the most important questions within the topics of the workshop.
Tuesday
11:30 – 12:30 & 16:15 – 18:00
We break into groups twice to work on answering the questions from Monday in small groups of ~6 people each.
Each group will collaboratively work on a shared document where answers to questions, interesting plots and references may be added.
Wednesday
12:30 – 13:00
Each group will present a summary of what was discussed and conclusions reached to all workshop attendees. A simple presentation using the collaborative document as slides will suffice.
Workshop questions
Single Transits
What can we learn about the orbit given a single transit?
Shallow Transits
How do we most effectively detect shallow transits in the presence of systematic noise?
How do we best calculate the probability of the transit being due to an exoplanet?
Strange Transits
What are the current theories for why some stars exhibit strange transit? E.g. make a list.
What could the red and blue PLATO cameras tell us about the properties of the transiting material?
Exocomets
What can exocomet detections in the PLATO data tell us about exocomets?
