A Technique for Detecting Starlight Scattered from Transiting Extrasolar Planets with Application to HD 209458b
Xin Liu, Edwin L. Turner, Norio Narita +6
We present a new technique for detecting scattered starlight from transiting, close-orbiting extrasolar giant planets (CEGPs) that has the virtues of simplicity, robustness, linear…
Five New Transits of the Super-Neptune HD 149026
Joshua N. Winn, Gregory W. Henry, Guillermo Torres +1
We present new photometry of HD 149026 spanning five transits of its "super-Neptune" planet. In combination with previous data, we improve upon the determination of the planet-to-s…
Precise Photometry and Spectroscopy of Transits
Joshua N. Winn
A planetary transit produces both a photometric signal and a spectroscopic signal. Precise observations of the transit light curve reveal the planetary radius and allow a search fo…
The Rotation Period of the Planet-Hosting Star HD 189733
Gregory W. Henry, Joshua N. Winn
We present synoptic optical photometry of HD 189733, the chromospherically active parent star of one of the most intensively studied exoplanets. We have significantly extended the…
The Transit Light Curve Project. VII. The Not-So-Bloated Exoplanet HAT-P-1b
Joshua N. Winn, Matthew J. Holman, Gaspar A. Bakos +8
We present photometry of the G0 star HAT-P-1 during six transits of its close-in giant planet, and we refine the estimates of the system parameters. Relative to Jupiter's propertie…
Spin-Orbit Alignment for the Eccentric Exoplanet HD 147506b
Joshua N. Winn, John Asher Johnson, Kathryn M. G. Peek +7
The short-period exoplanet HD 147506b (also known as HAT-P-2b) has an eccentric orbit, raising the possibility that it migrated through planet-planet scattering or Kozai oscillatio…
