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.

Kepler-1708 b-i is likely undetectable with HST

Ben Cassese, David Kipping. arxiv.org. March 24, 2022.

A simulation estimates HST recovery if the proposed Kepler-1708 moon exists. Seven of75 trials meet all requirements; conditional10±3% detectability is separate from the probability a moon exists. Optimistic systematics and JWST forecasts remain assumptions, with no independent detection or UAP claim.
