  "abstract": "<p>We present&nbsp;<em>fBLS</em>&nbsp;&ndash; a novel technique for detecting transiting planets. fBLS is based on the fast-folding algorithm (FFA; Staelin 1969), extensively used in pulsar astronomy (e.g., Morello et al. 2020). fBLS&nbsp;simultaneously produces all the binned phase-folded lightcurves for an array of Np &lsquo;sufficiently different&rsquo; trial periods, with O(Np*log(N)) arithmetic operations (while regular BLS requires O(Np*N) operations). We compute the standard BLS statistic for each folded lightcurve produced by&nbsp;fBLS, creating a standard BLS periodogram. We present<em>&nbsp;fBLS</em>&nbsp;capabilities by applying it to Kepler data, finding known and new planets. When applied to&nbsp;PLATO&nbsp;lightcurves, it will detect small rocky transiting planets, with periods shorter than one day, a period range for which the computation is extensive.&nbsp;<em>fBLS&nbsp;</em>will also be used to detect transiting planets with varying duration and transit timing.</p>",
