Examination of Planetary Systems with Kepler Data

In this period of study we attempted to use data from the Kepler
archive to deduce information about planetary systems observed by
that mission. The ultimate goal was to potentially identify features
of the planets in these systems by examining ellipsoidal variations
in their light curves. For this purpose we attempted to, separately,
apply PyKE utilities and create new code to search the mission’s fits
files. We discovered potential issues with the PyKE code regarding
its compatibility with Kepler data and were unable to produce any
meaningful results from new code due to time constraints.
