Descripción
Transit searches provide a large number of planet candidates. Before
attempting follow-up observations, the best effort should be spent in
classifying the light-curves, rejecting false alarms and selecting the
most likely ones for real planets. A number of analysis tools has been
developed with these objectives. Here, we apply such tools to 237
simulated multi-color light-curves from CoRoT Blind Test 2, which
contain simulated planet transits and several configurations of
impostors. Their comparison gives indications of the various tools'
classification and false-alarm rejection capabilities. In order to
arrive at the candidate identifications, we used an automated scheme of
weighted punctuations assigned to the individual tests, which avoids
that results from a single test dominate a candidate's classification.
