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.

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.

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).

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.

20081106 CoRoT-1 (C) by Hentunen (Finland)
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.

for the mid-transit
HJD for Vanmunster's
2008.05.11 observation.
This observation
is still a mystery since
it occurs 11 days after the previous
"b" trnaist and 10 days before
the following "b" transit.

HD 189733

(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.
Petr Svoboda
tentatively holds the
record for an informal contest
to demonstrate that
"aperture isn't everything!"
Congratulations

a bragging rights

2008.04.14
Added XO-1 OOT for 20080413 by Gary (AZ). It's one of the most precise
amateur LCs and since
it was made when
a transit did not happen
it can be used to assess
what amateurs
are capable of for the
goal of searching
for small depth transits.
The RMS for 2-minute
averages is 1.5 mmag,
so 10 minute data chunks
should exhibit
~0.7 mmag RMS. Any
transit lasting 3 hours could
be analyzed using
1-hour data groupings
exhibiting 0.27 mmag
SE, assuming systemtics
are removed (which looks
possible for this LC).
In other words, transit
depths as small as ~0.8
mmag should be detectable at the
3-sigma level using amateur
LCs taken under ideal sky
conditions with a 14-inch
telescope and a blue-blocking
filter. This OOT
LC is at: http://brucegary.net/AXA/XO1/xo1.htm#Out-of-Transit
