Kepler: A Deep Learning Pipeline for Transit-Based Exoplanet Candidate Identification in TESS Sectors 1 through 97

TESS has produced light curves for hundreds of millions of stars, more than traditional tools like Box Least Squares can feasibly vet alone. We present Kepler, a CNNtransformer hybrid trained to detect the periodic brightness dips caused by transiting planets. Using TESS Sectors...
