• Abstract summary: GPFC is a fast folding algorithm parallelized on a GPU to amplify low signal-to-noise ratio transit signals. A CNN trained on two million synthetic light curves reports a score indicating the likelihood of a planetary signal at each period. GPFC improves on speed by three orders of magnitude over the predominant Box-fitting Least Squares (BLS) method.

• Abstract: This paper presents GPFC, a novel Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) Phase Folding and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) system to detect exoplanets using the transit method. We devise a fast folding algorithm parallelized on a GPU to amplify low signal-to-noise ratio transit signals, allowing a search at high precision and speed. A CNN trained on two million synthetic light curves reports a score indicating the likelihood of a planetary signal at each period. While the GPFC method has broad applicability across period ranges, this research specifically focuses on detecting ultra-short-period planets with orbital periods less than one day. GPFC improves on speed by three orders of magnitude over the predominant Box-fitting Least Squares (BLS) method. Our simulation results show GPFC achieves $97%$ training accuracy, higher true positive rate at the same false positive rate of detection, and higher precision at the same recall rate when compared to BLS. GPFC recovers $100\%$ of known ultra-short-period planets in $\textit{Kepler}$ light curves from a blind search. These results highlight the promise of GPFC as an alternative approach to the traditional BLS algorithm for finding new transiting exoplanets in data taken with $\textit{Kepler}$ and other space transit missions such as K2, TESS and future PLATO and Earth 2.0.
