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 […]

HAT-P-61b exoplanet transit observation
HAT-P-61b exoplanet transit observation. The observed values differ quite a lot from the catalog values: the duration of the transit was 85 min (vs. 100 min) and the dimming was 17.3 mmag (vs. 10.4 mmag). The focus was done poorly and maybe the choice of reference stars was not quite right. This object has been […]
THO in Europlanet Science Congress 2022 in Granada, Spain
After several years, the European planetary research community will gather at the traditional EPSC (Europlanet Science Congress) conference on September 18-23. This year, EPSC will be held in Granda, Spain, where it was originally supposed to be held already in 2020. The last two EPSC conferences have been held as remote conferences via the internet, […]
Light curves of the three exoplanets from the last couple of nights (17.-18.3.)
Light curves of the three exoplanets from the last couple of nights (17.-18.3.). The beginning of the last one was omitted, because the transit took place about 1.5 hours earlier than had been reported in the catalog data.
HAT-P-10b / WASP-11b measured at Taurus Hill Observatory 30.8.2021
The first exoplanet light curve transit of this fall’s observation period was measured at Taurus Hill Observatory 30.8.2021. The target was HAT-P-10b / WASP-11b. The transit was exactly as predicted, the duration of the transit was about 160 min and the dimming of the parent star was about 25 mmag.
Light curves of nine different exoplanets measured at THO
A rare week in April. Seven consecutive clear nights. The dark moment of the night still lasted so long that the light curves of the exoplanet transits could be well measured. During the week (April 14 – April 20, 2021), the Taurus Hill Observatory measured the light curves of nine different exoplanets. For two nights, […]
