- A new artificial intelligence model named ExoMiner++ has discovered 7,000 exoplanet candidates using TESS mission data.
- More than 6,000 exoplanets have been confirmed to date, with many found through data from the Kepler mission and TESS telescope.
- ExoMiner++, an upgraded version of the original ExoMiner created in 2021, employs artificial intelligence to analyze transit observations to identify exoplanets.
- The software is compatible with both Kepler and TESS data, making it versatile for future exoplanet detection efforts.
- ExoMiner++ is available for free from GitHub, allowing researchers around the world to utilize the tool in their searches for exoplanets in TESS data archives.
