SETI Live: A New Way to Detect Planets With Two Stars

27 days, 2 transits, 3 eclipses, and the 1st circumbinary planet detected from a single sector of TESS data! Researchers announced they detected a planet in a 200-day orbit around two stars from observations of just one TESS sector over an observation period of 27 days. Previous detections of circumbinary planets required observing three transits which was not possible in the short observation window. Franck Marchis will discuss the discovery with SETI Institute scientist and lead author on the discovery's paper, Veselin Kostov. Press release: https://www.seti.org/press-release/te...
