Two Transiting Exoplanet Candidates in Cygnus from the MASTER Project

Пн, Февраль 25, 2013 - 13:14 / Категория: astronet

We present two transiting exoplanet candidates in
Cygnus discovered during a small photometric survey performed at
the Kourovka Astronomical Observatory of Ural Federal University
in the summer of 2012. The MASTER-1 b candidate (host star 2MASS
20260213+5006032, R=12.4) has a period of 0.847d, transit
depth of 0.015m, and transit duration of 1.6h. The MASTER-2 b
candidate (host star 2MASS 20341625+5015427, R=13.8) has a
period of 0.983d, transit depth of 0.017m, and transit
duration of 1.7h. We believe that these transit-like signals
might be caused by Hot Jupiters. Observations, data reduction,
transit search tools, and detected candidates are described.
Follow-up photometric and spectroscopic observations are needed to
clarify the nature of the candidates.
