| Subject: Transiting moons around self-luminous giant planets 7th March 2016, 6:12 pm | |
| Heller (2016) "Transits of extrasolar moons around luminous giant planets" http://arxiv.org/abs/1603.00174Perhaps transits of moons around self-luminous young giant planets will be possible with the next generation of extremely large telescopes. Radial velocity detection would still be extremely challenging, unless a so-far-unknown class of massive, close-in satellites (an exomoon analogue of the hot Jupiters) exists. | |
