Expected Detection and False Alarm Rates for Transiting Jovian Planets
Open accessAbstract
Ground-based searches for transiting Jupiter-sized planets have so far produced few detections of planets but many of stellar systems with eclipse depths, durations, and orbital periods that resemble those expected from planets. The detection rates prove to be consistent with our present knowledge of binary and multiple-star systems and of Jovian-mass extrasolar planets. Space-based searches for transiting Earth-sized planets will be largely unaffected by the false alarm sources that afflict ground-based searches, except for distant eclipsing binaries whose light is strongly diluted by that of a foreground star. A by-product of the rate estimation is evidence that the period distribution of extrasolar planets is depressed for periods between 5 and 200 days.

“Brown (2003) showed that the number of bona fide exoplanet transits (as opposed to stellar impostors) is consistent with expected numbers of binary and multiple stellar and exoplanet systems.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
