TOI-2180 B
TOI-2180 b is a giant exoplanet orbiting the G-type star, G-type star TOI-2180, also known as HD 238894. It was discovered with the help of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite and is currently the exoplanet with the longest orbital period TESS was able to uncover (as of September 2022). TOI-2180 b orbits its host star every 260.16 days. Discovery TOI-2180 b was first identified as an exoplanet candidate due to a single Astronomical transit, transit with TESS at 12./13. December 2019 by a group of Citizen science, citizen scientists called the Visual Survey Group, which includes Thomas Lee Jacobs, a former U. S. Naval Officer, U.S. naval officer. The group was using the light curve processing tool lcTools. In May 2020 the Planet Hunters#Planet Hunters: TESS, Planet Hunters: TESS collaboration announced this object as a Community TESS Object of Interest (CTOI) and it was soon promoted into a regular TOI. The The TESS-Keck Survey, TESS-Keck Survey collaboration performed ra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The TESS-Keck Survey
The TESS-Keck Survey or TKS is an exoplanet search project that uses the W. M. Keck Observatory, Keck I and the Automated Planet Finder (APF) to conduct List of telescope types, ground-based follow-up of planet candidates discovered by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite. The TKS aims to measure the mass for about 100 exoplanets and has been awarded some of the largest time allocations in the histories of Keck I and APF. The program has four main science themes: # the bulk compositions of small planets # dynamical temperatures and system architectures # a larger, more refined sample for future atmospheric studies # planets orbiting Stellar evolution, evolved stars List of discoveries Follow-up works by TKS studied the already discovered planets TOI-1726 c and WASP-107b.
