What problem does it solve?

Transit Least Squares (TLS) is a transit-detection method that fits realistic planet transit models to stellar light curves, outperforming generic periodograms for transit-shaped signals and enabling sensitive exoplanet discovery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects periodic transit-like dips by fitting transit models across period, duration, and epoch.
  • Supports phase-folded visualization, model light curves, and transit masking for multi-planet searches.
  • Applicable to time-domain photometry from missions like Kepler/TESS; useful for discovery, validation, and characterization of exoplanets.

Quick Start

Create a TLS workflow by instantiating a transitleastsquares object with your time, flux, and flux_err arrays and running the power() method to search for transit signals.
