Overview

• ExoMiner++ combines transfer learning from Kepler with TESS data to detect exoplanets
• Uses machine learning to classify transit signals from TESS 2-minute data
• Improves accuracy of distinguishing real planets from false positives
• Processes over 8,000 signals from TESS observations
• Creates comprehensive vetting catalog for planetary candidates

Plain English Explanation

Scientists built a smart tool called ExoMiner++ that finds planets around other stars. It learns from two space telescopes - Kepler and TESS. Think of it like teaching a student with experience from one school (Kepler) to excel at a new school (TESS).

The system looks for tiny...
