Application of transit timing variation method (TTV) to exoplanet system TrES-3
On the basis of the original photometric data, the light curves of several transits in the exoplanet system TrES-3 were simulated by Monte Carlo method. Using these curves, the estimates of precise values of mid-transit time were calculated to assess the

Simultaneous characterization of the atmospheres, surfaces, and exomoons of nearby rocky exoplanets
Atmospheric composition is an important indicator of habitability and life. The presence or absence of a large exomoon around an Earth-size exoplanet could have important consequences for planet climate stability.
