Reconstruction of the transit signal in the presence of stellar variability
Aude Alapini, Suzanne Aigrain
Intrinsic stellar variability can hinder the detection of shallow transits, particularly in space-based data. Therefore, this variability has to be filtered out before running the…
The Monitor project: tracking the evolution of low mass and pre-main sequence stars
Suzanne Aigrain, Jonathan Irwin, Leslie Hebb +4
The Monitor project is a large-scale program of photometric and spectroscopic monitoring of young open clusters using telescopes at ESO and other observatories. Its primary goal is…
The Monitor project: Rotation of low-mass stars in the open cluster NGC 2516
Jonathan Irwin, Simon Hodgkin, Suzanne Aigrain +5
We report on the results of an i-band time-series photometric survey of NGC 2516 using the CTIO 4m Blanco telescope and 8k Mosaic-II detector, achieving better than 1% photometric…
The CoRoT exoplanet programme: exploring the gas-giant/terrestrial planet transition
S. Aigrain, P. Barge, M. Deleuil +6
CoRoT, which was launched successfully on the 27th of December 2006, is the first space mission to have the search for planetary transits at the heart of its science programme. It…
The Monitor project: Data processing and lightcurve production
Jonathan Irwin, Mike Irwin, Suzanne Aigrain +3
We have begun a large-scale photometric survey of nearby open clusters and star-forming regions, the Monitor project, aiming to measure time-series photometry for >10,000 cluster m…
Planetary transits and stellar variability
Suzanne Aigrain
This thesis focuses on the detection of extrasolar planets via the transit method, and more specifically addresses issues relevant to the preparation of upcoming space missions suc…
