3 False Positives Detected for Exoplanets

Asteroseismology of eclipsing binary stars using Kepler and the HERMES spectrograph

Abstract:

We introduce our PhD project in which we focus on pulsating stars in eclipsing binaries. The combination of high-precision Kepler photometry with high-resolution HERMES spectroscopy allows for detailed descriptions of our sample of target stars. We report here the detection of three false positives by radial velocity measurements.
