Default TrES-3 - transits every 31 hours (2.5% brightness dip), 1500 Kelvins, 800 L.Y. away

Several articles online, a release and a paper from an international
team of astronomers announce the discovery by the Trans-atlantic
Exoplanet Survey of TrES-3. TrES-3 is a transiting planet that they
report blocks about 2.5 percent of the light of the star during a
transit and is about 800 L.Y. and very hot at 1,500 degrees Kelvin.

Some articles:

Article - Astronomers Overwhelmed by Flood of New Planets

And from the source - TrES-3 and the Trans-atlantic Exoplanet Survey
http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~ftod/tres/tres3.html

Their paper's abstract -
TrES-3: A Nearby, Massive, Transiting Hot Jupiter in a 31-Hour Orbit

And the pre-print paper itself -

Keep searching, Jason H.
