Near-infrared Transit Photometry of the Exoplanet Hd 149026b
The transiting exoplanet HD 149026b is an important case for theories of planet formation and planetary structure, because the planet’s relatively small size has been interpreted as evidence for a highly metal-enriched composition. We present observations of 4 transits with the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer on the Hubble Space Telescope within a wavelength range of 1.1–2.0 ...
متن کاملExoplanet Transit Parallax
The timing and duration of exoplanet transits has a dependency on observer position due to parallax. In the case of an Earth-bound observer with a 2 AU baseline the dependency is typically small and slightly beyond the limits of current timing precision capabilities. However, it can become an important systematic effect in high-precision repeated transit measurements for long period systems due...
متن کاملPrecision near Infrared Photometry for Exoplanet Transit Observations - I : Ensemble Spot Photometry for an All-sky Survey
Near-IR observations are important for the detection and characterization of exoplanets using the transit technique, either in surveys of large numbers of stars or for follow-up spectroscopic observations of individual planets. In a controlled laboratory experiment, we imaged ∼ 10 critically sampled spots onto an Teledyne Hawaii-2RG (H2RG) detector to emulate an idealized star-field. We obtaine...
متن کاملExoplanetsat: High Precision Photometry for Exoplanet Transit Detections in a 3u Cubesat
ExoplanetSat is a 3U CubeSat which will detect transiting “superEarth” exoplanets around bright, nearby sun-like stars. The ExoplanetSat prototype will focus on stars with low-mass planets (discovered by radial velocity planetfinding surveys)—planets which are not yet known to transit. No other current ground or space-based mission is capable of observing these systems, one star at at a time, o...
متن کاملRefining Exoplanet Ephemerides and Transit Observing Strategies
Transiting planet discoveries have yielded a plethora of information regarding the internal structure and atmospheres of extra-solar planets. These discoveries have been restricted to the low-periastron distance regime due to the bias inherent in the geometric transit probability. Monitoring known radial velocity planets at predicted transit times is a proven method of detecting transits, and p...
