Project Description
To narrow down the planet candidate list using detailed
photometric analysis. The following tasks will be addressed:
- Careful assessment of candidate lists through analysis of available light curves (from WTS, PanPlanets
and OmegaTrans)
- Multiband photometry using archive (SLOAN, 2MASS,
PanSTARRS1, Wendelstein, OmegaCam and GROND data, involving
possibly new observations, data reduction, spectral typing,
extinction.
- High cadence ground-based optical and NIR photometry,
involving new observations with the above-mentioned telescopes,
to derive precise light curve shapes, transit parameters and
constraints on possible blends.
