Transit timing variations of AU Microscopii b and c

Gy. M. Szabó, Z. Garai, A. Brandeker +76

Here we report large-amplitude transit timing variations (TTVs) for AU\,Microcopii b and c as detected in combined TESS (2018, 2020) and CHEOPS (2020, 2021) transit observations. A…

Rate and nature of false positives in the CoRoT exoplanet search

J. M. Almenara, H. J. Deeg

Context. The CoRoT satellite searches for planets by applying the transit method, monitoring up to 12 000 stars in the galactic plane for 150 days in each observation run. This sea…

Transiting exoplanets from the CoRoT space mission V. CoRoT-Exo-4b: Stellar and planetary parameters

C. Moutou, H. Bruntt, T. Guillot +2

The CoRoT satellite has announced its fourth transiting planet (Aigrain et al. 2008) with space photometry. We describe and analyse complementary observations of this system perfor…
