Discovering a Triple Star System

In this mini series we take a closer look at how we can find and analyse the triple star system TIC 470710327. This system was initially identified by citizen scientists on Planet Hunters TESS, and was recently published here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.06964 

Click the logos to open up the Colab notebook or to download the Jupyter notebook. You can use these to follow along with the video.

If you're using Jupyter notebook and you want to plot the extracted ETVs you will need to store two text files on your computer. Click on the button to download both as a .zip file.

First steps to finding a triple star system

We start this mini series off by looking at the TESS light curve and the various signals that it contains. 

This is part one of three that will look at how the discovery was made from start to finish, including all the tests and follow-up observations. You can read more about the discovery in this blog post: https://blog.planethunters.org/2022/0...
