Transit Analysis Package: An IDL Graphical User Interface for Exoplanet Transit Photometry [PDF]
Advances in Astronomy, 2012 We present an IDL graphical user-interface-driven software package designed for the analysis of exoplanet transit light curves. The Transit Analysis Package (TAP) software uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques to fit light curves using the ...

CHEOPS: A transit photometry mission for ESA's small mission programme [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013 Ground based radial velocity (RV) searches continue to discover exoplanets below Neptune mass down to Earth mass. Furthermore, ground based transit searches now reach milli-mag photometric precision and can discover Neptune size planets around bright ...

Transit origami: a method to coherently fold exomoon transits in time series photometry [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 One of the simplest ways to identify an exoplanetary transit is to phase fold a photometric time series upon a trial period – leading to a coherent stack when using the correct value. Such phase-folded transits have become a standard data visualization

High-resolution Imaging Transit Photometry of Kepler-13AB [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2019 Using the high-resolution imaging instrument, ’Alopeke, at the Gemini-N telescope, we obtained simultaneous two-channel time-series observations of the binary exoplanet host star Kepler13-AB.

Transit Photometry as an Exoplanet Discovery Method [PDF]
, 2018 Photometry with the transit method has arguably been the most successful exoplanet discovery method to date. A short overview about the rise of that method to its present status is given.

Scintillation Noise in Exoplanet Transit Photometry
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2015 Transit photometry is a powerful technique for studying exoplanets. Transit observations from the ground of targets of magnitude V= 10 or brighter, however, are limited by scintillation noise due to Earth's atmosphere.

Feasibility of transit photometry of nearby debris discs [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014 Dust in debris discs is constantly replenished by collisions between larger objects. In this paper, we investigate a method to detect these collisions.

Transit Photometry of the Core-dominated Planet HD 149026b [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2005 We report g, V, and r photometric time series of HD 149026 spanning predicted times of transit of the Saturn-mass planetary companion, which was recently discovered by Sato and collaborators.

Precision Near-Infrared Photometry for Exoplanet Transit Observations. I. Ensemble Spot Photometry for an All-Sky Survey [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2012 Near-IR observations are important for the detection and characterization of exoplanets using the transit technique, either in surveys of large numbers of stars or for follow-up spectroscopic observations of individual planets. In a controlled laboratory
