Exoplanet KOI 256b observed at Taurus Hill Observatory.
The bright spring sky makes the light curve measuremets quite challenging. Despite this the Taurus Hill Observatory research team managed to observe and measure the transit of the exoplanet KOI 256b 30.4.2011. KOI 256b is located in Draco and it has been discovered by Kepler-telescope. KOI 256b is still in the list of unconfirmed discoveries. […]
Exoplanet KOI203b observed twice at Taurus Hill Observatory.
Taurus Hill Observatory research team continued the exoplanet observation by observing exoplanet KOI 203b twice in short time. The exoplanet is located in Cygnus and the mother star is quite dim for the photometric measurements, only 14.4 magnitudes. In the first measurement (22./23.4.2011) the duration of the transit, according the measurements, was 128.4 minutes and […]
