# TESS Transit Period Detection
## Quick Start
```python
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, '/app/environment/skills/evo-tess-transit/scripts')
from utils import find_exoplanet_period, validate_output
period = find_exoplanet_period(
input_path='/root/data/tess_lc.txt',
output_path='/root/period.txt',
round_digits=5
)
validate_output('/root/period.txt')
```
## Pipeline Steps
1. **Load & filter** — read 4-column file (time, flux, flag, error), keep flag==0
2. **Outlier removal** — symmetric sigma clipping (configurable bounds)
3. **Stellar rotation** — Lomb-Scargle finds dominant periodic variability
4. **Multi-window BLS** — detrending windows derived as fractions of the
stellar period; BLS peaks at stellar harmonics are excluded
5. **Iterative transit-masked detrending** — mask transit phases, interpolate,
re-smooth, repeat to avoid absorbing transits into the trend
6. **Batman model fit** — differential evolution + Nelder-Mead for precise
period, Rp/Rs, a/Rs, inclination
7. **Robustness** — repeat batman fit across the detrending window grid;
report median period
8. **Output** — write rounded period to file
