Astronomical photographic plates enable time domain science, including searches for transiting #exoring systems such as #J1407b, so I was happy to see Enke+ “Archives of Photographic PLates for Astronomical USE (APPLAUSE)" that includes a light curve for Boyajian’s star #astrodon 🪐🔭 https://arxiv.org/abs/2404.17355

Inverted photos of white on black images of GK Per, showing the expansion of a shell of ejected material over 1914 to 1953.

An excellent review by @alexteachey on "Detecting and Characterizing Exomoons and Exorings" https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.13293 - this is required reading if you want to have an overview of these fields #astrodon #exomoon #exoring #J1407b
