For two decades, astronomers have made enormous progress in the detection and characterisation of exoplanetary systems but the identification of an \"exomoon\" is notably absent. \u003cbr\u003eIn this thesis, David Kipping shows how transiting planets may be used to infer the presence of exomoons through deviations in the time and duration of the planetary eclipses. A detailed account of the transit model, potential distortions, and timing techniques is covered before the analytic forms for the timing \u003cbr\u003evariations are derived. It is shown that habitable-zone exomoons above 0.2 Earth-masses are detectable with the Kepler space telescope using these new timing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-11-27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642271205\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-22269-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 200\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47668087193740,"sku":"9783642271205","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642271205.jpg?v=1776461447","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783642271205","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
