Quantifying Detection Bias And Recovering Habitable Zone Occurrence Rates In The NASA Exoplanet Archive
[Astronomy and Computing] Transit surveys tend to underestimate how often habitable zone (HZ) planets appear. The core reason is geometric: the chance that an Earth-like planet transits a sun-like star […]
