Results from these tests provide also in many cases insights into the nature of the sources of the false positives, which are generally produced by one of several kinds of configurations involving eclipsing binaries (EB).

In addition, tomosynthesis, which provides 3D - like views, may also lessen exposure from diagnostic workups if early evidence of reduced false - positives holds up in larger studies.

The high - amplitude region of depths over 5 % is not covered by candidates in the follow - up program, because the eclipse depth as such identifies these cases as false positives in planet finding, excluding them automatically from follow - up observations.

Factors affecting that difference apart from those already mentioned are: the different angular distance from a target within which EBs become diluted and cause a false positive; here Brown uses a radius of 20 whereas for CoRoT, diluted EBs found by the photometric follow - up infer a radius of about 17 (Deeg et al. 2009).

Because of these false positives, a sequence of tests - as originally outlined by Alonso et al.
