Probing Transit Timing Variation and its Possible Origin with Twelve New Transits of TrES-3b [PDF]
We present twelve new transit light curves of the hot-Jupiter TrES-3b observed during $2012-2018$ to probe the transit timing variation (TTV). By combining the mid-transit times determined from these twelve transit data with those re-estimated through uniform procedure from seventy one transit data available in the literature, we derive new linear ...

Signal in Space Error and Ephemeris Validity Time Evaluation of Milena and Doresa Galileo Satellites
In August 2016, Milena (E14) and Doresa (E18) satellites started to broadcast ephemeris in navigation message for testing purposes. If these satellites could be used, an improvement in the position accuracy would be achieved.

Galileo Single Point Positioning Assessment Including FOC Satellites in Eccentric Orbits
On August 2016, the Milena (E14) and Doresa (E18) satellites started to broadcast ephemeris in navigation message for testing purposes. As the Galileo constellation is not yet complete. It is very important to have two more satellites available since the

Discovery of deep eclipses in the cataclysmic variable IPHAS J051814.33+294113.0 [PDF]
Performing the photometric observations of the cataclysmic variable IPHAS J051814.33+294113.0, we discovered very deep eclipses. The observations were obtained over 14 nights, had a total duration of 56 hours and covered one year.

Searching for Transit Timing Variations and Fitting a New Ephemeris to Transits of TrES-1 b [PDF]
Based on the light an exoplanet blocks from its host star as it passes in front of it during a transit, the mid-transit time can be determined. Periodic variations in mid-transit times can indicate another planet's gravitational influence. We investigate 83 transits of TrES-1 b as observed from 6-inch telescopes in the MicroObservatory robotic ...

Extensive photometry of the intermediate polar V2069 Cyg (RX J2123.7+4217) [PDF]
To obtain the spin period of the white dwarf in the intermediate polar V2069 Cyg with high precision, we fulfilled extensive photometry. Observations were performed within 32 nights, which have a total duration of 119 hours and cover 15 months.

Reducing roundoff errors in numerical integration of planetary ephemeris [PDF]
Modern lunar-planetary ephemerides are numerically integrated on the observational timespan of more than 100 years (with the last 20 years having very precise astrometrical data). On such long timespans, not only finite difference approximation errors, but also the accumulating arithmetic roundoff errors become important because they exceed random ...
