TrES-2: The First Transiting Planet in the Kepler Field
Francis T. O'Donovan, David Charbonneau, Georgi Mandushev +17
We announce the discovery of the second transiting hot Jupiter discovered by the Trans-atlantic Exoplanet Survey. The planet, which we dub TrES-2, orbits the nearby star GSC 03549-…
The Transit Light Curve (TLC) Project. I. Four Consecutive Transits of the Exoplanet XO-1b
Matthew J. Holman, Joshua N. Winn, David W. Latham +7
We present RIz photometry of four consecutive transits of the newly discovered exoplanet XO-1b. We improve upon the estimates of the transit parameters, finding the planetary radiu…
Rejecting Astrophysical False Positives from the TrES Transiting Planet Survey: The Example of GSC 03885-00829
Francis T. O'Donovan, David Charbonneau, Guillermo Torres +8
Ground-based wide-field surveys for nearby transiting gas giants are yielding far fewer true planets than astrophysical false positives, of which some are difficult to reject. Rece…
