Measuring accurate transit parameters
By observing the transits of exoplanets, one may determine many fundamental system parameters. I review current techniques and results for the parameters that can be measured with the greatest precision, specifically, the transit times, the planetary mass and radius, and the projected spin-orbit angle.

متن کاملEfficient Generation of Geographically Accurate Transit Maps
We present LOOM (Line-Ordering Optimized Maps), a fully automatic generator of geographically accurate transit maps. The input to LOOM is data about the lines of a given transit network, namely for each line, the sequence of stations it serves and the geographical course the vehicles of this line take. We parse this data from GTFS, the prevailing standard for public transit data. LOOM proceeds ...
متن کاملMeasuring Network One-way Transit Time
Network one-way transit time is one of the principal factors affecting network QoS. It is therefore important to measure it with sufficient accuracy. The measurements of network one-way transit time should not include host effects (time spent of the measurement hosts themselves) but be entirely attributable to delays incurred on the network. Furthermore, the measurements of network oneway trans...
متن کاملConstraining Orbital Parameters through Planetary Transit Monitoring
The orbital parameters of extra-solar planets have a significant impact on the probability that the planet will transit the host star. This was recently demonstrated by the transit detection of HD 17156b whose favourable eccentricity and argument of periastron dramatically increased its transit likelihood. We present a study which provides a quantitative analysis of how these two orbital parame...
