2010.01.11

Added CoRoT-6 to AXA home page list.
Updated Kepler-05 ephemeris.

2010.01.07

Added web page for Kepler-04. Who will be the first amateur to observe a sub-mmag transit?

2010.01.06

Added Kepler 4, 5, 6 & 8 to AXA home page list (Kepler 7 is fainter than V-mag 14.0).

2009.12.20

Added web page for GJ 1214 in spite of it's faint V-mag (is brighter at NIR band) & because it's an important exoplanet.

2009.12.11

Added WASP-19 to list & created web page for the object

____________________________ Above this line are a few miscellaneous additions to the AXA   __________________________________________

This completes the archiving of exoplanet transits on the Amateur Exoplanet Archive. Thanks, everyone, for contributing data files during the past 2 plus years!

2009.09.09

Note: I'm writing a Second Edition of the book Exoplanet Observing for Amateurs, and it will have much new material. Some of the new material is prompted by silly notions coming from the AAVSO community of observers, who don't understand that "exoplanets are not variable stars" as explained at: http://brucegary.net/AXA/NotAAVSO.htm  AAVSO observers have much to unlearn if they are to become good exoplanet observers!

Updated web page "dataformat.htm" (linked to from the AXA home page, also found here: http://brucegary.net/AXA/dataformat.htm  It explains the 3 ways to process images that can lead to a data file submitted to AXA (2 of them are common for AAVSO observers). 

Uploaded spreadsheet LCep.xls to same web site http://brucegary.net/book_EOA/xls.htm. It's to be used with CSV-files created using ensemble or comp/chk photometry. It can also be used with AXA data submission files. Lot's of instructions included. 

Replaced spreadsheet LCx_template.xls with LCas.xls at http://brucegary.net/book_EOA/xls.htm (new version has lots of instructions; only for use with CSV-files created using an "artificial star" as reference & nearby stars as "chk" for possible use in spreadsheet as reference).

I've decided that it's feasible for me to update plots when submission rate has slowed & I have time. Updates therefore cannot be counted on to be current since I won't be doing it after each data submission. This is a compromise between what we'd all like and what I'm able to do.

HAT-P-2 correction! Lubos Brat pointed out that the HJDo listed on the AXA home page (taken from Schneider's Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia) is discrepant with the discovery paper value and since the ETD has an observation that is consistent with the discovery paper HJDo, and since the single observation in the AXA can be viewed as OOT, the correct HJDo must be that given in the discovery paper by Bakos et al, 2007. I agree with this interpretation and have amended the AXA home page HJDo listing. Thank you Lubos Brat for notifying the AXA about this discrepancy.

2009.06.01

"Exomoons" are an exciting new thing for amateurs to look for in our transit data! The July issue of Sky & Telescope has an article by David Kipping explaining this, and his web site offers an excellent explanation: http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucapdki/exomoons.html).

Added plot of TrES-2 Length versus Filter, showing that there's no correlation that could account for the apparent shortening of Length versus date.

HAT-P-3 on 20090526 by Naves (Spain). Need for period increase is now beyond doubt. Length is constant.

2009.05.27

TrES-3 on 20090525 by Srdoc (Croatia). Added slope fit to transit length to this BTE.

2009.05.26

Upgraded TrES-2 plot of "Length" with Chi-Sqr fit to trend; AXA data shows shortening of 1.31 +- 1.10 min/year, which is compatible with Mislis & Schmitt (2009) suggestion (~3.16 min in ~ 2 years). Reference is on TrES-2 web page.

20090322 of HD 68988 (C) by Gregor Srdoc (Croatia). Compatible with Hentunen's Feb 25 LC, but discrepanty with Naves March 23 LC.

2009.03.23

20090322 of HD 68988 (R) by Ramon Naves (Spain). This is close to a confirmation of Hentunen's Feb 25 transit. Depths agree but mid-transit times (inferred from assumed length) differ by ~4.1 hrs for events 4 periods apart. High priority for future predicted transits.

2009.01.05

A web page has been created for downloading raw images for practicing image analysis and spreadsheet processing skills: PracticeImages 
Update on WASP-12: The lead author on the discovery paper, L. Hebb, has confirmed that a typo was present in the arXiv paper and the correct HJDo is 4508.9761. (By coincidence, 4506.7961 would work just about as well.) The BTE_ephem.xls has been updated (downloadable at http://brucegary.net/book_EOA/xls.htm).
20090101 WASP-12 (C) by Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Makku Nissinen (Finland) at 03:12 UT, 2009.01.05
20090104 WASP-12 (C) by Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Makku Nissinen (Finland) at 03:12 UT, 2009.01.05
Since Jan 1 was a "no show" and Jan 4 was observed to occur, the reported HJDo in the discovery paper (and included on Schneider's Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia) must be in error. The simplest explanation is that a misprint is present in the discovery paper because the survey HJD is correct but the stated HJD for high quality LCs is off by ~265 minutes. Perhaps two numbers were transposed, so that HJDo of 4506.9761 should be 4506.7961. This explanation is consistent with the Hentunen and Nissinen observations.

Decided, finally, to extend the V-mag criterion for BTE to 14.0 (from 13.0). This means that at this time 3 more BTEs will be added (all CoRoT). Hentunen's LC convinced me that amateurs are capable of making scientifically useful contributions for these fainter BTEs.

20080806 HD 189733 (C) by Petr Svoboda (Czech Republic) using a 1.33-inch aperture camera lens "telescope." 
    So far this is the smallest aperture (that has come to my attention) used to produce a scientifically useful exoplanet transit light curve.
