Comments on LCs on this web page:

Three LCs show brightenings either after egress, before ingress or both. This is not seen in the other LCs, so if there's forward scattering causing these occasional brightenings it couldn't be due to a simple ring system. Let's keep track of the egress and ingress shapes to see if more brightenings are present.

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

Out-of-Transit (OOT) Light Curves


Professional Light Curves


From Gibson, N. P., et al, 2008, using 2-m Liverpool Telescope (La Palma) with bandpass 0.5 - 0.7 micron, on dates 2008.05.18 (top) and 2008.09.04 (bottom). (Try to overlook the excessively conservative error bars, e.g., SE Sermon.)
