16 Nov 2007 | | Abstract: | The Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey currently operates two
installations, designated SuperWASP-N and SuperWASP-S, located in the northern
and southern hemispheres respectively. These installations are designed to
provide high time-resolution photometry for the purpose of detecting transiting
extra-solar planets, asteroids, and transient events. Here we present results
from a transit-hunting observing campaign using SuperWASP-N covering a right
ascension range of 06hr < RA < 16hr. This paper represents the fifth and final
in the series of transit candidates released from the 2004 observing season. In
total, 729,335 stars from 33 fields were monitored with 130,566 having
sufficient precision to be scanned for transit signatures. Using a robust
transit detection algorithm and selection criteria, 6 stars were found to have
events consistent with the signature of a transiting extra-solar planet based
upon the photometry, including the known transiting planet XO-1b. These transit
candidates are presented here along with discussion of follow-up observations
and the expected number of candidates in relation to the overall observing
strategy. | | Source: | arXiv, 0711.2581 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
