Photodynamical analysis of the nearly resonant planetary system WASP-148. Accurate transit-timing variations and mutual orbital inclination [PDF]
WASP-148 is a recently announced extra-solar system harbouring at least two giant planets. The inner planet transits its host star. The planets travel on eccentric orbits and are near the 4:1 mean-motion resonance, which implies significant mutual ...

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

Exoplanet characterization by multi-observatory transit photometry with TESS and CHEOPS [PDF]
Space-based photometric surveys have discovered large numbers of planets transiting other stars, but these observe in a single band-pass and yield only the planet radius, orbital period, and transit duration.

Non-detection of Contamination by Stellar Activity in the Spitzer Transit Light Curves of TRAPPIST-1 [PDF]
We apply the transit light curve self-contamination technique of Morris et al. (2018) to search for the effect of stellar activity on the transits of the ultracool dwarf TRAPPIST-1 with 2018 Spitzer photometry.

Simultaneous multicolour optical and near-IR transit photometry of GJ 1214b with SOFIA [PDF]
Context. The benchmark exoplanet GJ 1214b is one of the best studied transiting planets in the transition zone between rocky Earth-sized planets and gas or ice giants.

Transit Depth Variations Reveal TOI-216 b to be a Super-puff
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.

Differential rotation of Kepler-71 via transit photometry mapping of faculae and starspots
Knowledge of dynamo evolution in solar-type stars is limited by the difficulty of using active region monitoring to measure stellar differential rotation, a key probe of stellar dynamo physics.

Linearized Field Deblending: PSF Photometry for Impatient Astronomers [PDF]
NASA's Kepler, K2 and TESS missions employ Simple Aperture Photometry (SAP) to derive time-series photometry, where an aperture is estimated for each star, and pixels containing each star are summed to create a single light curve. This method is simple, but in crowded fields the derived time-series can be highly contaminated.

High-resolution Imaging Transit Photometry of Kepler-13AB
Using the high-resolution imaging instrument, ’Alopeke, at the Gemini-N telescope, we obtained simultaneous two-channel time-series observations of the binary exoplanet host star Kepler13-AB.

DEMONSTRATING HIGH-PRECISION, MULTIBAND TRANSIT PHOTOMETRY WITH MUSCAT: A CASE FOR HAT-P-14B [PDF]
The Multicolor Simultaneous Camera for studying Atmospheres of Transiting exoplanets (MuSCAT) is an optical three-band ( g 2 ′ ?> -, r 2 ′ ?> - and z s , 2 ?> -band) imager that was recently developed for the 188 cm telescope at Okayama Astrophysical ...
