Ground-based light curve follow-up validation observations of TESS object of interest TOI 3671.01

Exoplanets are all planets that exist outside our solar system, typically orbiting other stars [1]. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observes exoplanets by monitoring objects' changes in brightness, marking possible exoplanet candidates as Objects of Interest which require follow-up ground-based observation [2]. The goal of this research paper is to analyze data collected by a follow-up ground-based observation of TESS Object of Interest (TOI) 3671.01. This observation was conducted at George Mason University's observatory and AstroImageJ, an astronomy-focused image processing software, was used for the light curve analysis. Our results indicated a transit detection with most of the expected attributes, showing that TOI 3671.01 is likely an actual exoplanet.

Abstract

Exoplanets are all planets that exist outside our solar system, typically orbiting other stars [1]. NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) observes exoplanets by monitoring objects' changes in brightness, marking possible exoplanet candidates as Objects of Interest which require follow-up ground-based observation [2]. The goal of this research paper is to analyze data collected by a follow-up ground-based observation of TESS Object of Interest (TOI) 3671.01. This observation was conducted at George Mason University's observatory and AstroImageJ, an astronomy-focused image processing software, was used for the light curve analysis. Our results indicated a transit detection with most of the expected attributes, showing that TOI 3671.01 is likely an actual exoplanet.
