An educated search for transiting habitable planets: (Research Note) Targetting M dwarfs with known transiting planets
Because the planets of a system form in a flattened disk, they are expected to share similar orbital inclinations at the end of their formation. The high-precision photometric monitoring of stars known to host a transiting planet could thus reveal the transits of one or more other planets. We invest...
