Hello I'm new on this project, by that I have some questions:
How do analyze that indeed exists a planet?
How does your highlights help?
Who analyzes the data, users or the heads of the project?
Is the discover of a potential planet is attributed to one or many users?Posted

Hi Joo_A
A list of the science papers which are generated by Planethunters and the Zooniverse in general can be found here https://www.zooniverse.org/about/publications
This will give you a feel for the sort of things we are contributing towards, how our clicks get used and how acknowledgements work.
We are also quite good a spotting the odd stuff the professionals weren't expecting, and thus haven't got computer algorithms to look for. For example the only planet so far found in a four star system, and what has been described as 'the most interesting star in the galaxy', were both found by volunteers on this site.
Welcome to the site 😃
