• Authors: Christoph J. H\"ones, Benjamin Kurt Miller, Ana M. Heras, Bernard H. Foing
• Abstract summary: We propose an architecture which estimates a latent representation of both the main transit and residual deviations with a pair of variational autoencoders. We show, using two fabricated datasets, that our latent representations of anomalous transit residuals are significantly more amenable to outlier detection than raw data. Our study is the first which automatically identifies anomalous exoplanet transit light curves.

• Abstract: Raw light curve data from exoplanet transits is too complex to naively apply traditional outlier detection methods. We propose an architecture which estimates a latent representation of both the main transit and residual deviations with a pair of variational autoencoders. We show, using two fabricated datasets, that our latent representations of anomalous transit residuals are significantly more amenable to outlier detection than raw data or the latent representation of a traditional variational autoencoder. We then apply our method to real exoplanet transit data. Our study is the first which automatically identifies anomalous exoplanet transit light curves. We additionally release three first-of-their-kind datasets to enable further research.

  We propose an approach to identify exoplanet transit signals without the need for phase folding or assuming periodicity. We implement a new neural network inspired by Transformers to directly process Full Frame Image (FFI) light curves to detect exoplanet transits. Our model successfully identified 214 new planetary system candidates, including 122 multi-transit light curves, 88 single-transit and 4 multi-planet systems.
