Searching for the secondary eclipse of CoRoT-Exo-2b and its transit timing variations
With more than 80 transits observed in the CoRoT light curve with a cadence of 32 s, CoRoT-Exo-2b provides an excellent case to search for the secondary eclipse of the planet, with an expected signal of less than 10 in relative flux. The activity of the star causes a modulation on the flux that makes the detection of this signal challenging. We describe the technique used to seek for the second...
متن کاملTHE OBLIQUE ORBIT OF THE SUPER-NEPTUNE HAT-P-11b
We find the orbit of the Neptune-sized exoplanet HAT-P-11b to be highly inclined relative to the equatorial plane of its host star. This conclusion is based on spectroscopic observations of two transits, which allowed the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect to be detected with an amplitude of 1.5 m s−1. The sky-projected obliquity is 103+26 −10 degrees. This is the smallest exoplanet for which spin-orbi...
متن کاملTransit Timing Variations and orbital stability
We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically significant anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs), which demonstrates that the planet candidates are in the same system, and long-term dynamical stability, which places limits on the masses of the candidates—showing that they are planetary. All of these newly confirmed planetary systems have orbit...
متن کاملDevelopments in Planet Detection using Transit Timing Variations
In a transiting planetary system, the presence of a second planet will cause the time interval between transits to vary. These transit timing variations (TTV) are particularly large near mean-motion resonances and can be used to infer the orbital elements of planets with masses that are too small to detect by any other means. I present the results of a study of simulated data where I show the p...
متن کاملFollow - up Observations of the Neptune Mass Transiting Extrasolar Planet Hat - P - 11 b
We have confirmed the existence of the transiting super Neptune extrasolar planet HAT-P-11b. On May 1, 2009 UT the transit of Hat-P-11b was detected at the University of Arizona’s 1.55m Kuiper Telescope with 1.7 millimag rms accuracy. We find a central transit time of Tc = 2454952.92534± 0.00060 BJD; this transit occurred 80 ± 73 seconds sooner than previous measurements (71 orbits in the past)...
