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 ...

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.

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 ...

Spitzer Transit and Secondary Eclipse Photometry of GJ 436b [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2007 We report the results of infrared (8 mu m) transit and secondary eclipse photometry of the hot Neptune exoplanet, GJ 436b using Spitzer. The nearly photon-limited precision of these data allows us to measure an improved radius for the planet and to ...

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

Estimations of orbital parameters of exoplanets from transit photometry by using dynamical constraints [PDF]
Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2006 The probability of the detection of Earth-like exoplanets may increase in the near future after the launch of the space missions using the transit photometry as observation method.

A transit timing analysis with combined ground- and space-based photometry
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 The analysis of timing variations of transiting exoplanets allows one to discover additional planets in the system. Such bodies can be very low in mass and radius, so that they remain undetected by transit or radial velocity methods.
