Exoplanet Re-discovery from the CoRoTSpace Mission

I studied on a project with the help of an astrophysicist ,Dr. Rene Heller, from the Max Planck Institue for Solar System Research. I am researching the lightcurves of a known star called CoRot-12 which hosts exoplanets. We re-discovered the planet using TLS (Transit Least Squares), and its host star. I have found the transits of this planet, measured its orbital period, and calculated its distance to the star using Kepler’s Third Law*. You can find my research paper here.
