KIC011764567: An evolved object showing substantial flare-activity

M. Kitze, A. A. Akopian, V. Hambaryan +2

We intensively studied the flare activity on the stellar object KIC011764567. The star was thought to be solar type, with a temperature of K, $\log(g) =…

Long-Term Photometry of IC 348 with the YETI Network

D. J. Fritzewski, M. Kitze, M. Mugrauer +29

We present long-term photometric observations of the young open cluster IC 348 with a baseline time-scale of 2.4 yr. Our study was conducted with several telescopes from the Young…

YETI observations of the young transiting planet candidate CVSO 30 b

St. Raetz, T. O. B. Schmidt, S. Czesla +32

CVSO 30 is a unique young low-mass system, because, for the first time, a close-in transiting and a wide directly imaged planet candidates are found around a common host star. The…

Ground-based transit observations of the HAT-P-18, HAT-P-19, HAT-P-27/WASP-40 and WASP-21 systems

M. Seeliger, M. Kitze, R. Errmann +46

As part of our ongoing effort to investigate transit timing variations (TTVs) of known exoplanets, we monitored transits of the four exoplanets HAT-P-18b, HAT-P-19b, HAT-P-27b/WASP…

No variations in transit times for Qatar-1 b

G. Maciejewski, M. Fernández, F. J. Aceituno +11

The transiting hot Jupiter planet Qatar-1 b was presented to exhibit variations in transit times that could be of perturbative nature. A hot Jupiter with a planetary companion on a…

Transit timing of TrES-2: a combined analysis of ground- and space-based photometry

St. Raetz, G. Maciejewski, Ch. Ginski +21

Homogeneous observations and careful analysis of transit light curves can lead to the identification of transit timing variations (TTVs). TrES-2 is one of few exoplanets, which off…

Superflares on the slowly rotating solar-type stars KIC10524994 and KIC07133671?

M. Kitze, R. Neuhäuser, V. Hambaryan +1

An investigation of the G-type stellar population with Kepler (as done by Maehara et al.) shows that less than 1 per cent of those stars show superflares. Due to the large pixel sc…

The search for transiting planets using the YETI network

R. Errmann, St. Raetz, M. Kitze +2

To search for young transiting planets in continuous light curves, we monitor young open clusters (2-200 Myr) with the YETI network. Here we report the first transiting candidates…

Investigation of a transiting planet candidate in Trumpler 37: an astrophysical false positive eclipsing spectroscopic binary star

R. Errmann, G. Torres, T. O. B. Schmidt +50

We report our investigation of the first transiting planet candidate from the YETI project in the young (~4 Myr old) open cluster Trumpler 37. The transit-like signal detected in t…

Multi-site campaign for transit timing variations of WASP-12 b: possible detection of a long-period signal of planetary origin

G. Maciejewski, D. Dimitrov, M. Seeliger +38

The transiting planet WASP-12 b was identified as a potential target for transit timing studies because a departure from a linear ephemeris was reported in the literature. Such dev…

A Possible Detection of Occultation by a Proto-planetary Clump in GM Cephei

The YETI Collaboration, W. P. Chen, S. C. -L. Hu +41

GM Cep in the young (~4 Myr) open cluster Trumpler 37 has been known to be an abrupt variable and to have a circumstellar disk with very active accretion. Our monitoring observatio…

Young Exoplanet Transit Initiative (YETI)

R. Neuhäuser, R. Errmann, A. Berndt +80

We present the Young Exoplanet Transit Initiative (YETI), in which we use several 0.2 to 2.6m telescopes around the world to monitor continuously young (< 100 Myr), nearby (< 1 kpc…
