resonances!

[No posts for a while: I was on a short break.]

A huge highlight today was in parallel-working meeting, where Elisabeth Andersson (NYU) got her code working to plot Kepler light curves folded on various periods. In particular, periods that are integer ratios of known exoplanet periods. We are going to search for resonant signals. And warning: We are even going to look for 1:1 resonances, which might have escaped detection previously! We did various hacks to flatten the heck out of the light curves, which we might come to regret if we don't come back to them.
