Occurrence Rates of Exosatellites Orbiting 3–30 M Jup Hosts from 44 Spitzer Light Curves
We conduct a comprehensive search for transiting exomoons and exosatellites within 44 archival Spitzer light curves of 32 substellar worlds with estimated masses ranging between 3 and 30 M _Jup . This sample’s median host mass is 16 M _Jup , inclusive of 14 planetary-mass objects, among which one is...
