Instruction

Load time-series photometric light curves, ensuring the data is properly cleaned and detrended.
Define the search grid parameters, including the minimum and maximum period to be searched.
Execute the TLS algorithm to detect periodic dips in stellar brightness, accounting for the realistic transit shape.
Evaluate the Signal Detection Efficiency (SDE) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) to determine the statistical significance of detected peaks.
Identify candidate planetary transits and extract their orbital period, transit duration, and depth.
Run a secondary optimization to refine the transit parameters and check for harmonic signals or eclipsing binary patterns.

When to Use

When searching for shallow planetary transit signals in light curves from missions like TESS, Kepler, or ground-based surveys.
When traditional Box Least Squares (BLS) is insufficient for detecting signals with realistic transit profiles.
When needing high-precision periodogram analysis for periodic signal discovery in astronomical photometry.
