Eight exoplanet transits (June-July, 2012)

Dear group,

Finally an opportunity to process some exoplanet transit data collected during the past two months now that the graphics software is up and running once again following a new edition of php which made many earlier commands obsolete.

(1) http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...3-20120707.htm - HD 189733 in Vul hosts one of only two exoplanets with confirmed water vapour in its atmosphere and also one of the brightest exoplanet host stars (mag 7.67)

(2) http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...2-20120730.htm - WASP 2 in Del which requires a mere 51.6 hours to orbit its sun

(3) http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...2-20120728.htm - CoRoT-2 in Aql and which defies current theory given its radius which is too large for its mass

(4) http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...3-20120720.htm - HAT-P-23 in Del is characterized with significant tidal effects due to its high mass and close proximity to its host star

(5) http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...5-20120709.htm - HAT-P-5 in Lyr is a low-density "hot Jupiter"

(6) http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...3-20120705.htm - WASP-3 in Lyr may be characterized with a ring system

(7) http://www.perseus.gr/Astro-Photomet...1-20120704.htm - Qatar-1 in Dra is one of two finds by this new exoplanet hunting team

Dear group,

Finally an opportunity to process some exoplanet transit data collected
during the past two months now that the graphics software is up and running
once again following a new edition of php which made many earlier commands

"A variable star, as its name suggests, is a star whose magnitude varies
intrinsically, in contrast to eclipsing binaries whose magnitude varies as a
result of one star in the binary system eclipsing the other. True variables
are one of five types, namely Mira stars, semiregular stars, cepheids,
eruptive variables and, finally, cataclysmic variables. Minimum to maximum
magnitude can range from days to many months with some variables displaying
irregular periods. "

A variable star, as its name suggests, is a star whose magnitude APPEARS to
vary, but intrinsically its light output is constant, just like eclipsing
binaries whose magnitude APPEARS to vary as a result of the major axis of
their orbits aligned with the line of sight. False variables are one of five
types, namely Mira stars, semiregular stars, cepheids, eruptive variables
and, finally, cataclysmic variables. Minimum to maximum magnitude can range
from days to many months with some variables displaying irregular periods.
People believe what they see with their eyes and reject the logic of
mathematics which is why they are so easily fooled.

You are one busy astrophotographer, Anthony. Thank You for sharing
your work (and art) here.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding. Are you implying that there is no such thing as a star whose magnitude varies intrinsically?

Nice to see you're still hard at work... Been a long time since I've been around to say that... Hope you're doing well...

Jan,

REALLY good to hear from you after all of these years.

Fingers crossed you will be able to stick around ... pay particular attention to the threads and messages by a guy named "Oriel". They are a hoot!

Anthony.

Have only had time to read a couple of Oriel's posts, but sounds a little reminiscent of *Nancy*(IIRC) from days of yore...
