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

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 Analysis Package: An IDL Graphical User Interface for Exoplanet Transit Photometry [PDF]
Advances in Astronomy, 2011 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 ...

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.

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 (

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.

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 ...

Near-ultraviolet transit photometry of HAT-P-32 b with the Large Binocular Telescope: Silicate aerosols in the planetary atmosphere [PDF]
, 2017 Broad-band exoplanet transit photometry can characterize the planetary atmosphere when observed at multiple selected filters. This observing technique can reveal gradients in the spectra of extrasolar planets, for example, the slope of decreasing opacity
