An Automated Search for Transiting Exocomets- HD 182952 (KIC 8027456)

A team of astronomers led by Grant M. Kennedy, discovered a potential third comet system in the Kepler prime field data of HD 182952 (KIC 8027456) using an automated search program. As discussed in their recently accepted paper by the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS), " we aim to identify asymmetric transits with ingress that is more rapid than egress, as expected for cometary bodies with a significant tail".
