Excerpt

Satellites of extrasolar planets, or exomoons, are on the frontier of detectability using current technologies and theoretical constraints should be considered in their search. In this Letter, we apply theoretical constraints of orbital stability and tidal migration to the six candidate Kepler Object of Interest (KOI) systems proposed by Fox & Wiegert to identify whether these systems can potentially host exomoons. The host planets orbit close to their respective stars and the orbital stability extent of exomoons is limited to only∼ 40% of the host planet's Hill …
