The detection of periodic signals from transiting exoplanets is often impeded by extraneous aperiodic photometric variability, either intrinsic to the star or arising from the measurement process. Frequently, these variations are autocorrelated wherein later flux values are correlated with previous ones. In this work, we present the methodology of the Autoregessive Planet Search (ARPS) project which uses Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and related statistical models that treat a wide variety of stochastic processes, as well as nonstationarity, to improve detection of new planetary transits. Providing a time series is evenly spaced or can be placed on an evenly spaced grid with missing values, these low-dimensional parametric models can prove very effective. We introduce a planet-search algorithm to detect periodic transits in the residuals after the application of ARIMA models. Our matched-filter algorithm, the Transit Comb Filter (TCF), is closely related to the traditional Box-fitting Least Squares and provides an analogous periodogram. Finally, if a previously identified or simulated sample of planets is available, selected scalar features from different stages of the analysis -- the original light curves, ARIMA fits, TCF periodograms, and folded light curves -- can be collectively used with a multivariate classifier to identify promising candidates while efficiently rejecting false alarms. We use Random Forests for this task, in conjunction with Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves, to define discovery criteria for new, high fidelity planetary candidates. The ARPS methodology can be applied to both evenly spaced satellite light curves and densely cadenced ground-based photometric surveys.

The 4-year light curves of 156,717 stars observed with NASAs Kepler mission are analyzed using the AutoRegressive Planet Search (ARPS) methodology described by Caceres et al. (2019). The three stages of processing are: maximum likelihood ARIMA modeli ng of the light curves to reduce stellar brightness variations; constructing the Transit Comb Filter periodogram to identify transit-like periodic dips in the ARIMA residuals; Random Forest classification trained on Kepler Team confirmed planets using several dozen features from the analysis. Orbital periods between 0.2 and 100 days are examined. The result is a recovery of 76% of confirmed planets, 97% when period and transit depth constraints are added. The classifier is then applied to the full Kepler dataset; 1,004 previously noticed and 97 new stars have light curve criteria consistent with the confirmed planets, after subjective vetting removes clear False Alarms and False Positive cases. The 97 Kepler ARPS Candidate Transits mostly have periods $P<10$ days; many are UltraShort Period hot planets with radii $<1$% of the host star. Extensive tabular and graphical output from the ARPS time series analysis is provided to assist in other research relating to the Kepler sample.
Sensitive signal processing methods are needed to detect transiting planets from ground-based photometric surveys. Caceres et al. (2019) show that the AutoRegressive Planet Search (ARPS) method --- a combination of autoregressive integrated moving av erage (ARIMA) parametric modeling, a new Transit Comb Filter (TCF) periodogram, and machine learning classification --- is effective when applied to evenly spaced light curves from space-based missions. We investigate here whether ARIMA and TCF will be effective for ground-based survey light curves that are often sparsely sampled with high noise levels from atmospheric and instrumental conditions. The ARPS procedure is applied to selected light curves with strong planetary signals from the Kepler mission that have been altered to simulate the conditions of ground-based exoplanet surveys. Typical irregular cadence patterns are used from the HATSouth survey. We also evaluate recovery of known planets from HATSouth. Simulations test transit signal recovery as a function of cadence pattern and duration, stellar magnitude, planet orbital period and transit depth. Detection rates improve for shorter periods and deeper transits. The study predicts that the ARPS methodology will detect planets with $gtrsim 0.1$% transit depth and periods $lesssim 40$ days in HATSouth stars brighter than $sim$15 mag. ARPS methodology is therefore promising for planet discovery from ground-based exoplanet surveys with sufficiently dense cadence patterns.
The detailed study of the exoplanetary systems HD189733 and HD209458 has given rise to a wealth of exciting information on the physics of exoplanetary atmospheres. To further our understanding of the make-up and processes within these atmospheres we require a larger sample of bright transiting planets. We have began a project to detect more bright transiting planets in the southern hemisphere by utilising precision radial-velocity measurements. We have observed a constrained sample of bright, inactive and metal-rich stars using the HARPS instrument and here we present the current status of this project, along with our first discoveries which include a brown dwarf/extreme-Jovian exoplanet found in the brown dwarf desert region around the star HD191760 and improved orbits for three other exoplanetary systems HD48265, HD143361 and HD154672. Finally, we briefly discuss the future of this project and the current prospects we have for discovering more bright transiting planets.
We report the detection of two new planets from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. These planets orbit two stars each previously known to host one planet. The new planet orbiting HD 142 has a period of 6005pm427 days, and a minimum mass of 5.3M_Jup. HD142c is thus a new Jupiter analog: a gas-giant planet with a long period and low eccentricity (e = 0.21 pm 0.07). The second planet in the HD 159868 system has a period of 352.3pm1.3 days, and m sin i=0.73pm0.05 M_Jup. In both of these systems, including the additional planets in the fitting process significantly reduced the eccentricity of the original planet. These systems are thus examples of how multiple-planet systems can masquerade as moderately eccentric single-planet systems.
In these proceedings we give a status update of the Calan-Hertfordshire Extrasolar Planet Search, an international collaboration led from Chile that aims to discover more planets around super metal-rich and Sun-like stars, and then follow these up wi th precision photometry to hunt for new bright transit planets. We highlight some results from this program, including exoplanet and brown dwarf discoveries, and a possible correlation between metallicity and planetary minimum mass at the lowest planetary masses detectable. Finally we discuss the short-term and long-term future pathways this program can take.
