Search for Exoplanet Transits in the Galactic Bulge

  • 1. Universidad de Concepcion, Chile

Description

The study of exoplanets provides us with a greater understanding of planetary system formation, what are their structures and compositions. In this project, our aim is to search and characterize extrasolar planets in the Galactic Bulge and to establish whether there is a relationship with existing exoplanets in the Disk of the Milky Way. This will be done using photometric catalogs through the K2 mission and VVV survey. With these data, we will search for exoplanets in this field using the transit technique. We present the discovery of five exoplanet candidates, in which three warm Jupiters and two hot Jupiters detected in the Galactic Bulge with K2 data. Our candidates have a period between 3.6 and 35.2 days. One of them is a planet orbiting a variable star. Here, we will report preliminary planet catalogs and their properties.
