Multiwavelength transit observations of the candidate disintegrating planetesimals orbiting WD 1145+017 [PDF]

, 2015
We present multiwavelength, ground-based follow-up photometry of the white dwarf WD 1145+017, which has recently been suggested to be orbited by up to six or more short-period, low-mass, disintegrating planetesimals.

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. Through turbulence profiling using instruments such as the stereo-SCIDAR, we have shown to able to accurately model scintillation noise,

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.

Spitzer Transit and Secondary Eclipse Photometry of GJ 436b [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 2007
We report the results of infrared (8 micron) transit and secondary eclipse photometry of the hot Neptune exoplanet, GJ436b using Spitzer. The nearly photon-limited precision of these data allow us to measure an improved radius for the planet, and to detect the secondary eclipse.

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 ...

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

Effective temperatures and radii of planet-hosting stars from IR photometry [PDF]

, 2003
In this paper we present and analyse determinations of effective temperatures of planet-hosting stars using infrared (IR) photometry. One of our goals is the comparison with spectroscopic temperatures to evaluate the presence of systematic effects that ...

The Transit Light Curve Project. V. System Parameters and Stellar Rotation Period of HD 189733 [PDF]

, 2006
We present photometry of HD 189733 during eight transits of its close-in giant planet, and out-of-transit photometry spanning two years. Using the transit photometry, we determine the stellar and planetary radii and the photometric ephemeris.

Methods for exomoon characterisation: combining transit photometry and the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect

, 2010
It has been suggested that moons around transiting exoplanets may cause observable signal in transit photometry or in the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect.
