Gifts from Exoplanetary Transits
The discovery of transiting extrasolar planets has enabled us a number of interesting stduies. Transit photometry reveals the radius and the orbital inclination of transiting planets, and thereby we can learn the true mass and the density of respective planets by the combined information of radial velocity measurements. In addition, follow-up observations of transiting planets such as secondary...
متن کاملPlanetary Transits and Tidal Evolution
Transiting planets are generally close enough to their host stars that tides may govern their orbital and thermal evolution of these planets. We present calculations of the tidal evolution of recently discovered transiting planets and discuss their implications. The tidal heating that accompanies this orbital evolution can be so great that it controls the planet’s physical properties and may ex...
متن کاملBayesian detection of planetary transits
The detection of planetary transits in stellar photometric light-curves is poised to become the main method for finding substantial numbers of terrestrial planets. The French-European mission COROT (foreseen for launch in 2005) will perform the first search on a limited number of stars, and larger missions Eddington (from ESA) and Kepler (from NASA) are planned for launch in 2007. Transit signa...
متن کاملPrecision photometry for planetary transits
This paper reviews the state of the art in follow-up photometry for planetary transit searches. Three topics are discussed: (1) Photometric monitoring of planets discovered by radial velocity to detect possible transits (2) Follow-up photometry of candidates from photometric transit searches to weed out eclipsing binaries and false positives (3) High-precision lightcurves of known transiting pl...
متن کاملExtrasolar Planets Transits: Detection and Follow Up
The detection of transits has a rich potential of information about extrasolar planets. This contribution gives an overview and new perspectives on the subject:-constraints on the internal structure from radius measurement-detection of rings and satellites of planets-determination of the albedo of planets in close orbit (`Pegasids')-spectroscopic investigation of transits In addition, the high ...
