19 Dec 2014 | | Abstract: | Three optical telescopes located at the San Pedro M’artir National
Observatory were used for the first time to obtain multi-filter defocused
photometry of the transiting extrasolar planets WASP-39b and WASP-43b. We
observed WASP-39b with the 2.12m telescope in the U filter for the first time,
and additional observations were carried out in the R and I filters using the
0.84m telescope. WASP-43b was observed in VRI with the same instrument, and in
the i filter with the robotic 1.50m telescope. We reduced the data using
different pipelines and performed aperture photometry with the help of custom
routines, in order to obtain the light curves. The fit of the light curves
(1.5--2.5mmag rms), and of the period analysis, allowed a revision of the
orbital and physical parameters, revealing for WASP-39b a period ($4.0552947
pm 9.65 imes 10^{-7}$ days) which is $3.084 pm 0.774$ seconds larger than
previously reported. Moreover, we find for WASP-43b a planet/star radius
($0.1738 pm 0.0033$) which is $0.01637 pm 0.00371$ larger in the i filter
with respect to previous works, and that should be confirmed with additional
observations. Finally, we confirm no evidence of constant period variations in
WASP-43b. | | Source: | arXiv, 1412.6178 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
