Given 14.5 days for the star’s revolution, has the “random transit” also occured when comparing day 2.5 with day 17 for example? Or comparing day 6 with day 20.5 for example And so on and s...
My bet: It is a three stars system where the smaller one is 200 ppm as bright as the two biger ones added. The third star would make the system quite unstable, but may be it is a lone star trappe...
Trisolaris? Imagine three stars of different sizes, the two big ones are the binary system we detect, while the smaller one is visible almost all the time, except when it is behind or in front on...
Have they ruled out aliasing of frequencies? How about bifurcations or chaotic motions?
SETI is unlikely, but there's no reason to presume, and thus dismiss as illogical, that occultations caused by megastructures were intended to signal us.
Here's a theory. The random dips are due to power-law "avalanching" of dust from a close-in dust ring. The dust ring is fed by dust spiraling in due to Poynting-Robertson drag; the dust ring is c...
Thanks very much for that. Love your work, love Exocast!
Still no pulsar planets, I see. Regarding your stated position that the planetary companions of pulsars are not actually planets (because "planets" must orbit stars and pulsars are not stars), th...

A couple of comments to improve the survey: * Some of us drive to, rather than fly to, our observing trips. * For a few locations (e.g. Australia), I head down that way once every other year or s...

In reply to Stefan. Well I guess I was taught that to tick the box that says 'sta...
