Exoplanet transit spectro-photometry with SOFIA [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010 AbstractWe present the prospects of observing extrasolar planets with the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). Our analysis shows that optical and near-infrared photometric and spectrophotometric follow-up observations during planetary transits and\break eclipses will be feasible with SOFIA's instrumentation, especially with the ...

Transit origami: a method to coherently fold exomoon transits in time series photometry [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021 ABSTRACT 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 in modern transit discovery papers.

No Conclusive Evidence for Transits of Proxima b in MOST Photometry [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2017 Abstract The analysis of Proxima Centauri’s radial velocities recently led Anglada-Escudé et al. to claim the presence of a low-mass planet orbiting the Sun’s nearest star once every 11.2 days. Although the a priori probability that Proxima b transits its parent star is just 1.5%, the potential impact of such a discovery would be ...

TOI-5205b: A Short-period Jovian Planet Transiting a Mid-M Dwarf
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present the discovery of TOI-5205b, a transiting Jovian planet orbiting a solar metallicity M4V star, which was discovered using Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite photometry and then confirmed using a combination of precise radial velocities ...

Revised Properties and Dynamical History for the HD 17156 System
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 From the thousands of known exoplanets, those that transit bright host stars provide the greatest accessibility toward detailed system characterization.

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 ...

Constraining the oblateness of transiting planets with photometry and spectroscopy [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT Rapid planetary rotation can cause the equilibrium shape of a planet to be oblate. While planetary oblateness has mostly been probed by examining the subtle ingress and egress features in photometric transit light curves, we investigate the effect of oblateness on the spectroscopic Rossiter–McLaughlin (RM) signals. We found that

Observations of planetary transits at the University Observatory Jena
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 We report on observations of transit events of the transiting planets XO-1b, TrES-1 and TrES-2 with a 25 cm telescope of the University Observatory Jena.

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.
