Comments on LCs on this web page:

Let's keep track of the egress and ingress shapes to see if brightenings are present. A brightening just before ingress and just after egress caould be produced by strong forward scattering of a ring system around the hot Jupiter. The LC of 2008.05.07 by Naves shows such a feature after egress.

Basic Data

    RA = 18:34:31.6, Decl = +35:39:41
    Season = July 2
    V = 10.64,
    HJDo = 4143.8503
    P = 1.846834 day
    Depth = 12.9 mmag (V,R,I-band)
    Length = 2.60 hr

Note the apparent "brightening" after egress. Such a feature could be produced by the hot Jupiter having a rings system (that forward scatters).
