Photometric Search for Exomoons by using Deep Learning and Convolutional Neural Networks
Astronomers know of more than 4,000 exoplanets. These are celestial bodies that orbit a star other than our Sun. However, none of these has yet been proven to have a moon, although there are some possible candidates. Lukas Weghs wrote an intelligent programme for a high-performance computer that helps identify possible exomoons. This is done using the transit method, which...
