Powerful AI finds 100+ hidden planets in NASA data including rare and extreme worlds
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have confirmed more than 100 exoplanets, including 31 newly identified worlds, using a new artificial intelligence system.
Summary
Astronomers at the University of Warwick have confirmed more than 100 exoplanets, including 31 newly identified worlds, using a new artificial intelligence system. The team applied this tool to data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a mission that scans the sky for slight dips in starlight that occur when a planet crosses in front of its host star. Their findings, published in MNRAS , are based on a detailed analysis of observations from more than 2.2 million stars gathered during TESS's first four years.
