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 ...

Photometry of exoplanetary transits at Osservatorio Polifunzionale del Chianti [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper we report the observations of HD189733b, Kepler-41b, Kepler-42b, GJ 436b, WASP-77ab, HAT-P-32b and EPIC 211818569 as measured at the Osservatorio Polifunzionale del Chianti, a new astro-nomical site in Italy. Commissioning observing runs have been done in order to test capabilities, systematics and limits of the system and to ...

MULTI-COLOR TRANSIT PHOTOMETRY OF GJ 1214b THROUGH BJHKs BANDS AND A LONG-TERM MONITORING OF THE STELLAR VARIABILITY OF GJ 1214 [PDF]
We present five new transit light curves of GJ 1214b taken in the BJHKs bands. Two transits were observed in the B band using the Subaru Prime Focus Camera (Suprime-Cam) and the Faint Object Camera and Spectrograph (FOCAS) instruments on board the Subaru

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

Measuring Exoplanetary Radii Using Transit Photometry
The goal of this study was to measure the radii and constrain the orbital periods of three hot Jupiter exoplanets: HAT-P-25b, HAT-P-9b, and HAT-P-30b. Raw images of the host stars were acquired from the Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico.

Time evolution and rotation of starspots on CoRoT-2 from the modelling of transit photometry [PDF]
CoRoT-2, the second planet-hosting star discovered by the CoRoT satellite, is a young and active star. A total of 77 transits were observed for this system over a period of 135 days.

Methods for exomoon characterization: Combining transit photometry and the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect [PDF]
It has been suggested that moons around transiting exoplanets may cause an observable signal in transit photometry or in the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect.

High accuracy transit photometry of the planet OGLE-TR-113b with a new deconvolution-based method [PDF]
A high accuracy photometry algorithm is needed to take full advantage of the potential of the transit method for the characterization of exoplanets, especially in deep crowded fields.
