Data calibration for the MASCARA and bRing instruments
G. J. J. Talens, E. R. Deul, R. Stuik +8
Aims: MASCARA and bRing are photometric surveys designed to detect variability caused by exoplanets in stars with . Such variability signals are typically small and requ…
Studying bright variable stars with the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA)
O. Burggraaff, G. J. J. Talens, J. Spronck +6
The Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA) aims to find the brightest transiting planet systems by monitoring the full sky at magnitudes , taking data every 6.4 seconds. The…
MASCARA-1 b: A hot Jupiter transiting a bright A-star in a misaligned orbit
G. J. J. Talens, S. Albrecht, J. F. P. Spronck +11
We report the discovery of MASCARA-1 b, the first exoplanet discovered with the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA). It is a hot Jupiter orbiting a bright , rapidly rotati…
MASCARA-2 b: A hot Jupiter transiting the A-star HD185603
G. J. J. Talens, A. B. Justesen, S. Albrecht +13
In this paper we present MASCARA-2 b, a hot Jupiter transiting the A2 star HD 185603. Since early 2015, MASCARA has taken more than 1.6 million flux measurements of the s…
The Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA: Finding transiting exoplanets around bright () stars
G. J. J. Talens, J. F. P. Spronck, A. -L. Lesage +4
This paper describes the design, operations, and performance of the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA (MASCARA). Its primary goal is to find new exoplanets transiting bright stars, $4 < m_…
Determination of the position angle of stellar spin axes
Anna-Lea Lesage, Guenter Wiedemann
Measuring the stellar position angle provides valuable information on binary stellar formation or stellar spin axis evolution. We aim to develop a method for determining the absolu…
DeSSpOt: an instrument for stellar spin orientation determination
Anna-Lea Lesage, Magnus Schneide, Günter Wiedemann
We designed and constructed a special instrument to enable the determination of the stellar's spin orientation. The Differential image rotator for Stellar Spin Orientation, DeSSpOt…
