Mauna Kea High Speed Photometry of Transits of the Extrasolar Planet HD 209458B [PDF]
Open Astronomy, 2003 Using high-speed photometry techniques, three transits of the extrasolar planet across the disk of the star HD 209458 have been observed. The combination of a WET-style 3-channel photometer and an excellent site yielded millimagnitude photometric ...

A Six Year, Low-resolution, Multibroadband Transit Photometry Study of HD 189733b
The Astronomical Journal, 2022 Transmission spectroscopy offers an invaluable opportunity to characterize the atmospheres of exoplanets. We present new ground-based optical transmission spectra of the hot Jupiter HD 189733b, derived from nine transits observed over a six year time ...

Identification and Removal of Noise Modes in Kepler Photometry [PDF]
, 2012 We present the Transiting Exoearth Robust Reduction Algorithm (TERRA) --- a novel framework for identifying and removing instrumental noise in Kepler photometry. We identify instrumental noise modes by finding common trends in a large ensemble of light curves drawn from the entire Kepler field of view.

ECCENTRICITY FROM TRANSIT PHOTOMETRY: SMALL PLANETS IN KEPLER MULTI-PLANET SYSTEMS HAVE LOW ECCENTRICITIES [PDF]
, 2015 Solar system planets move on almost circular orbits. In strong contrast, many massive gas giant exoplanets travel on highly elliptical orbits, whereas the shape of the orbits of smaller, more terrestrial, exoplanets remained largely elusive.

An ultra-short-period super-Earth with an extremely high density and an outer companion [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe present the discovery and characterization of a new multi-planetary system around the Sun-like star K2-360 (EPIC 201595106). K2-360 was first identified in K2 photometry as the host of an ultra-short-period (USP) planet candidate with a period of 0.88

Precision Near Infrared Photometry For Exoplanet Transit Observations - I : Ensemble Spot Photometry for An All-Sky Survey [PDF]
, 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 experiment, we imaged $\sim 10^4$ critically sampled spots onto an Teledyne Hawaii-2RG (H2RG ...

Pushing the precision limit of ground-based eclipse photometry [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Until recently, it was considered by many that ground-based photometry could not reach the high cadence sub-mmag regime because of the presence of the atmosphere. Indeed, high frequency atmospheric noises (mainly scintillation) limit the precision that high SNR photometry can reach within small time bins.

TOI-199 b: A Well-characterized 100 day Transiting Warm Giant Planet with TTVs Seen from Antarctica
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present the spectroscopic confirmation and precise mass measurement of the warm giant planet TOI-199 b. This planet was first identified in TESS photometry and confirmed using ground-based photometry from ASTEP in Antarctica including a full 6.5 hr ...
