Description

The Box Least Squares (BLS) periodogram is a statistical tool for detecting transiting exoplanets and eclipsing binaries in photometric time series data. BLS models a transit as a periodic upside-down top hat (box shape) and finds the period, duration, depth, and reference time that best fit the data. BLS is built into Astropy and provides an alternative to Transit Least Squares (TLS). Both search for transits, but with different implementations and performance characteristics.
