HAT-P-5b light curve measured at Taurus Hill Observatory.
Taurus Hill Observatory research team observed the transit of the exoplanet HAT-P-5b 9./10.2.2011 at Taurus Hill Observatory. The exoplanet is located about 1100 light years from the Earth in Lyra. The mother star is a G-type of star and the exoplanet so called Hot Jupiter that orbits very near the star. The dimmening that exoplanet […]
Exoplanet Qatar-1b observed at Taurus Hill Observatory
THO research team managed to measure the light curve of the exoplanet Qatar-1b that is the first exoplanet discovered by the Qatarian research team. The THO measurement was made in the morning hours of 1.2.2011. Due some clouds there are some caps in the light curve. Also the brightening sky made the last part of […]
Exoplanet HAT-P-25b has been observed at Taurus Hill Observatory.
Exoplanet HAT-P-25b has been observed at Taurus Hill Observatory. The object is located about 980 light years from the Earth. It is so called “Hot Jupiter” that circulates its mother star once in 3.6 days. The dimmening of the transit according to THO measuremets was 18,1 mmag and the duration of the transit about 170.7 […]
“Diamond exoplanet” has also been observed at Taurus Hill Observatory.
The US-British team of astronomers has discovered that the exoplanet WASP-12b could have ultra-rich concentrations of carbon and that the core of the planet may consist of pure diamond. The research team of the Taurus Hill Observatory has also observed this exoplanet WASP-12b. The latest successful transit observation was made 4.1.2009. The light curve is […]
Exoplanet HAT-P-19b transit observed at Taurus Hill Observatory.
Exoplanet HAT-P-19b was discovered July 2010 and Taurus Hill Observatory research team observed the transit of the exoplanet 20.9.2010 at THO. In the light curve below you can clearl see the dimmening that is about 0.02 magnitudes. HAT-P-19b orbits the mother star once in four days. The mother star GSC 2283-589 is located in the […]
Exoplanet Kepler-9b transit observation in Taurus Hill Observatory.
Star USNO-B1.0 1284-0331019 (also known as Kepler-9) has estimated to be three transiting exoplanets from the Earth point of view. Two of them are gas giants that have a revolution times of 19 and 38 days. The remaining exoplanet is only 1,5 times bigger than Earth and near the star. Taurus Hill Observatory research team […]
