Kepler Project Document: Planet Detection Metrics: Automatic Detection of Background Objects Using the Centroid Robovetter

An overview of the automated method of identifying background eclipsing binaries masquerading as planet candidates in the Kepler planet candidate catalogs is described. The manual vetting process for Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs) described in Bryson et al. (2013) with a series of measurements and tests that can be performed algorithmically is codified. The automated results are compared with a sample of manually vetted KOIs from the catalog of Burke et al. (2014).

This dataset or service is made available by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute at IPAC, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
