Comments

This will be a difficult object to observe because the depth is small (6 mmag) and the period is long and uncertain (21.2 days). At least it's bright. So far it appears that the period should be shortened to 21.218 days.

Short et al (2008) published (http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/0803.2935) a probable detection of planet "c" in an outer orbit that perturbs the transiting plant's (plant "b") transit times by significant amounts. Every 333 days the mid-transit times should "jump" about 3 minutes. This should be observable using amateur telescopes provided several transits are observed after the jump (or more than one observer measures the same transit after a jump).

Light Curves





A first submission; couldn't have chosen a more difficult exoplanet transit to observe. Good RMS per unit time; RMS(2-min) = 1.5 mmag.
