Exoplanet CoRoT-1b in Monoceros
Dear group,
This evening I decided to go after the transit involving CoRoT-1b in Monoceros. Although the transit depth itself is quite doable at around 25 mmag (ie. 0.025 mag), the host star is only mag 13.6 and I did know what to expect and especially in light of the fact I am using only an aperture of 160mm. I must confess my result is much better than I had expected: http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...1-20100204.htm . There are a number of other exoplanets whose host stars are of similar magnitude and I will certainly give them a shot. With my CoRoT-1b result, it seems egress was earlier than predicted and I will follow-up on this observation. Anthony. |
