Abstract Title
Searching For Titius-Bode Predicted Exoplanets
Abstract
With the recent surge in exoplanet discoveries in recent years, some new and unproven techniques have appeared. One such technique is fitting a model to a system with 3 or more known planets to predict new planets within the system. A 2015 paper by Bovaird, et al. predicted 228 planets in 151 Kepler systems. These predictions were made by using a generalized Titius-Bode relation and have an expected 15% detection rate among candidates with a > .55 probability of transiting their host star. The purpose of this project will be to test the validity and predicting power of this technique.
