Sensitivity Analyses of Exoplanet Occurrence Rates from Kepler and Gaia
Sensitivity Analyses of Exoplanet Occurrence Rates from Kepler and Gaia
We infer the number of planets-per-star as a function of orbital period and planet size using $Kepler$ archival data products with updated stellar properties from the $Gaia$ Data Release 2. Using hierarchical Bayesian modeling and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo, we incorporate planet radius uncertainties into an inhomogeneous Poisson point process model. …
