Further Evidence Found by TESS Is Confirming the Orbital Decay of Kepler-1568b
The orbital decay of Kepler-1658b remains a mystery to this day. Many previous authors have searched for this hot Jupiter using ground-based telescopes, with no secure results. Here, I present a search for Kepler-1658b with the data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). By using the most recent TESS data, I have extended the time baseline of previous observations and was able to perform a more sensitive search. I evaluated the latest data and found further evidence to confirm the shrinking orbit of Kepler-1658b and predict the inspiral time of the system.
