Homogeneous studies of transiting extrasolar planets - V. New results for 38 planets
Southworth, John
I measure the physical properties of 38 transiting extrasolar planetary systems, bringing the total number studied within the Homogeneous Studies project to 82. Transit light curves are modelled using the jktebop code, with careful attention paid to limb darkening, orbital eccentricity and contaminating light. The physical properties of each syste…
The rotation of field stars from CoRoT data
Micela, G.; Favata, F.; Affer, L. +1 more
We present period measurements of a large sample of field stars in the solar neighbourhood, observed by the COnvection ROtation and planetary Transits (CoRoT) satellite in two different directions of the Galaxy. The presence of a period was detected using the Lomb-Scargle normalized periodogram technique and the autocorrelation analysis. The asses…
The needle in the haystack: searching for transiting extrasolar planets in CoRoT stellar light curves
Pätzold, M.; Grziwa, S.; Carone, L.
EXOTRANS is a software package developed by the Department of Planetary Research of the Rheinisches Institut für Umweltforschung (RIU-PF) at Cologne University for detecting transit signals from extrasolar planets in stellar light curves. EXOTRANS is used very successfully by RIU-PF within the CoRoT mission. The software package uses two different…
