A SEARCH FOR THE TRANSIT OF HD 168443b: IMPROVED ORBITAL PARAMETERS AND PHOTOMETRY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 The discovery of transiting planets around bright stars holds the potential to greatly enhance our understanding of planetary atmospheres. In this work we present the search for transits of HD 168443b, a massive planet orbiting the bright star HD 168443 V=6.92 with a period of 58.11 days.

TERMS PHOTOMETRY OF KNOWN TRANSITING EXOPLANETS [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2011 The Transit Ephemeris Refinement and Monitoring Survey (TERMS) conducts radial velocity and photometric monitoring of known exoplanets in order to refine planetary orbits and predictions of possible transit times. This effort is primarily directed towards planets not known to transit, but a small sample of our targets consist of known transiting ...

Precision photometry for planetary transits
, 2007 We review the state of the art in follow-up photometry for planetary transit searches. Three topics are discussed: (1) Photometric monitoring of planets discovered by radial velocity to detect possible transits (2) Follow-up photometry of candidates from photometric transit searches to weed out eclipsing binaries and false positives (3) High-precision ...

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 analytic model of Mandal and Agol (2002).

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 stars.

HST/FGS Photometry of Planetary Transits of HD 209458 [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2004 We present the data, and modeling and analysis results from the photometric monitoring of five planetary transits of HD 209458 using the Fine Guidance Sensors (FGS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We have now included the output from all four FGS photometers in our data reduction and analysis increasing our S/N over our previous results.

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. We generate models based on recent results on the Fomalhaut debris disc, where we simulate a background star transiting behind the disc, due to the proper motion of Fomalhaut.

Transit origami: a method to coherently fold exomoon transits in time series photometry [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT 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 in modern transit discovery papers.
