Dear group,
Finally some clear skies following a month of incessant clouds and rains. With the moon at a phase of 64% at the onset of darkness, there was little room for DSO work. To this end, back to photometry involving HAT-P-25b in Aries and whose discovery was announced in Aug/2010. It is a lesser density hot-Jupiter and whose host star is one of the dimmer exoplanet host stars discovered to date by a ground-based exoplanet hunting team. HAT-P-25b requires 3.65 days to completely orbit its G5 dwarf host star. With the moon approximately 20 degrees further west, I had serious reservations about getting a decent result and especially given the 13.19 magnitude of the host star. However, all is well that ends well. Anthony. |
