Assessing the Impact of High-Resolution Imaging on Statistical Validation of TESS Planet Candidates
Michael Collier, Steven Giacalone, Brian Derfer, David R. Ciardi et autres
High-resolution imaging is widely used to constrain false-positive scenarios in exoplanet validation, but it is a finite follow-up resource that reaches only a subset of candidates, and its population-level impact on validation outcomes has not been quantified through controlled removal experiments. Using …
