Ground-based search for the brightest transiting planets with the Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA - MASCARA
Ignas Snellen, Remko Stuik, Ramon Navarro +6
The Multi-site All-sky CAmeRA MASCARA is an instrument concept consisting of several stations across the globe, with each station containing a battery of low-cost cameras to monito…
The signature of orbital motion from the dayside of the planet tau Bootis b
M. Brogi, I. A. G. Snellen, R. J. de Kok +3
The giant planet orbiting tau Bootis was among the first extrasolar planets to be discovered through the reflex motion of its host star. It is one of the brightest known and most n…
Discovery and characterisation of detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries in the WFCAM Transit Survey
J. L. Birkby, S. V. Nefs, S. T. Hodgkin +17
We report the discovery of 16 detached M-dwarf eclipsing binaries with J<16 mag and provide a detailed characterisation of three of them, using high-precision infrared light curves…
Minimizing follow-up for space-based transit surveys using full lightcurve analysis
S. V. Nefs, I. A. G. Snellen, E. J. W. de Mooij
One of the biggest challenges facing large transit surveys is the elimination of false-positives from the vast number of transit candidates. We investigate to what extent informati…
