A search for transits of GJ 581\lowercase{e} and characterization of the host star variability using MOST space telescope photometry [PDF]
, 2012 The GJ 581 system has been amply studied since its discovery in 2005: the number of known planets in the system has increased and their orbital parameters are among the most precisely determined for radial velocity detected exoplanets.

Demonstrating high-precision photometry with a CubeSat: ASTERIA observations of 55 Cancri e [PDF]
, 2020 ASTERIA (Arcsecond Space Telescope Enabling Research In Astrophysics) is a 6U CubeSat space telescope (10 cm x 20 cm x 30 cm, 10 kg). ASTERIA's primary mission objective was demonstrating two key technologies for reducing systematic noise in photometric ...

Estimations of orbital parameters of exoplanets from transit photometry by using dynamical constraints [PDF]
, 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.

NEAR-INFRARED TRANSIT PHOTOMETRY OF THE EXOPLANET HD 149026b [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 The transiting exoplanet HD 149026b is an important case for theories of planet formation and planetary structure, because the planet's relatively small size has been interpreted as evidence for a highly metal-enriched composition. We present observations of 4 transits with the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer on the Hubble Space ...

Transit Depth Variations Reveal TOI-216 b to be a Super-puff
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The planets of the TOI-216 system have been previously observed to exhibit large transit-timing variations, which enabled precise mass characterization of both transiting planets.

Kepler Observations of Transiting Hot Compact Objects [PDF]
, 2010 Kepler photometry has revealed two unusual transiting companions orbiting an early A-star and a late B-star. In both cases the occultation of the companion is deeper than the transit. The occultation and transit with follow-up optical spectroscopy reveal

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. The method's strength is the rich set of parameters that can be obtained from transiting planets, in particular in combination with radial velocity observations; the ...

Transit observations at the observatory in Grossschwabhausen: XO-1b and TrES-1 [PDF]
, 2008 We report on observations of transit events of the transiting planets XO-1b and TrES-1 with the AIU Jena telescope in Grossschwabhausen. Based on our IR photometry (in March 2007) and available transit timings (SuperWASP, XO and TLC-project-data) we ...
