A Reply to: Large Exomoons unlikely around Kepler-1625 b and Kepler-1708 b

David Kipping, Alex Teachey, Daniel A. Yahalomi, Ben Cassese, Billy Quarles, Steve Bryson, Brad Hansen, Judit Szulágyi, Chris Burke, Kevin Hardegree-Ullman. arxiv.org. January 18, 2024.

Kipping and nine coauthors dispute reductions and inference in the Kepler1625/1708 exomoon controversy using shared archival products. They retain that both candidates may not be real and need further observations; noise, detrending, injection geometry, limb-darkening and conditional false-positive assumptions limit inference. No independent moon or UAP detection follows.

An Exomoon Survey of 70 Cool Giant Exoplanets and the New Candidate Kepler-1708 b-i

David Kipping, Steve Bryson, Chris Burke, Jessie Christiansen, Kevin Hardegree-Ullman, Billy Quarles, Brad Hansen, Judit Szulágyi, Alex Teachey. arxiv.org. January 12, 2022.

A survey of70 cool giant planets reports a tentative exomoon candidate. Two transits and dependent treatments of Kepler data leave ordinary noise, blend and other-planet alternatives. Statistical planet validation and moon tests are separate; this is astronomy background, with no life or UAP detection.
