The first exoplanet transit light curve of the observation season from TOI-6034.01b

Posted by & filed under , .

The first exoplanet transit light curve of the observation season was taken from TOI-6034.01b. The brightness of the measured exoplanets “mother” star is 15.2 magnitude, i.e. rather dim. The darkness in Finland was just right for measuring the light curve. According to the measurement, the overpass lasted 95.0 min (vs. expected value 95.3 min) and the dimming caused by the overpass was 40.9 mmag (52.9 mmag). Dimming was therefore clearly less than expected. The measurement was made with a photometric R-filter using a 150 second exposure. The device was a viewing platform C-14 telescope and an SBIG ST-8XME camera. Light curve credit: TRESCA
