XLS Spreadsheets and Miscellaneous File Download Page

This is where I'll maintain current versions of spreadsheets refered to in the book Exoplanet Observing for Amateurs.


BTE List                         List of basic properties of all 16 "bright transiting exoplanets"  (updated 2008.02.10 UT)

BTE Ephem                    Transit ephemeris generating spreadsheet for 16 BTEs  (updated 2008.03.11 UT)

LCx Template                Labor-intensive processing of imported CSV-files from MaxIm DL or AXA-format TXT-files for producing LCs (upgrade 2008.04.29 UT).

Exoplanet Size Model    An amateur's way of estiamting exoplanet size from LC parameters (crude, but fun)

Coming Soon                Raw FITS image files for practice processing (XO-1, March 14)

64x64_AS.dll               Artificial Star plug-in, courtesy Ajai Sehgal (use "Save to disk" option). Note: MaxIm DL v4.59 has a plug-in bug that has been fixed with v4.60 (released August 3).

Landolt Stars                Text file of 1259 Landolt stars with B, V, Rc and Ic magnitudes, essential for doing all-sky photometry (SDB-file).

Coming soon                Arne Henden's all-sky photomtry results appear to be slightly better than Landolt's, though they don't have the same uniform RA coverage.
