About

T. E. Burlakova is an astronomer specializing in exoplanet detection and robotic telescope surveys. Her primary research focuses on the discovery and characterization of transiting exoplanets using small-aperture, automated observatories. Burlakova’s major contributions include leading the Exoplanet Two-Square Degree Survey with SAO RAS robotic facilities, a pioneering effort that demonstrated the feasibility of detecting exoplanet transits with a 0.5-meter telescope. This work, cited 7 times, established a methodology for wide-field monitoring of stellar fields. She subsequently reported eight new exoplanet candidates discovered through this survey, detailed in a 2023 paper with 5 citations, where transits as shallow as Δm = 0.01 magnitude were identified. These achievements highlight her role in advancing low-cost, robotic exoplanet searches, expanding the toolkit for transit detection beyond large observatories. Her work is notable for its practical impact on ground-based exoplanet surveys, providing a scalable model for similar projects worldwide. Burlakova’s research continues to contribute to the growing catalog of exoplanet candidates, underscoring the value of dedicated, small-telescope surveys in the era of large-scale space missions.
