2014-11-24 : Dear observers,

on 29/11 - 3/12 2014 will be a planned ETD blackout. ETD will be moved to a new server. In these days all ETD services will not work. If you need a transit prediction for this period use the prediction service before 28th November (transits predictions are generated 30 days to the future)..

We are looking forward your new transit light curves after the 3rd December.

Best,
ETD admins

2013-02-24 : Upgrade of transit predictions.
We have made a small improvement of transit predictions. In the table there are displaying HJD times for predicted transit (begin, mid, end).

2012-11-12 : 5 tranzitujících exoplanet nedávno publikovaných bylo přidáno do ETD: WASP-52b, WASP-58b, WASP-59b, WASP-60b a KELT-3b

2012-07-12 : New transiting exoplanet GJ3470 b Cnc was added to ETD.

2012-07-12 : New transiting exoplanet - HATS-1 b was added to ETD.

2012-02-05 : Three new exoplanets were added to ETD: HAT-P-8 b (Tri), Kepler-23 b (previous designation KOI 168.03) and Kepler-23 c (KOI 168.01) Cyg.

2012-01-19 : 6 recently published transiting exoplanets were added to ETD: Kepler-21 b, HAT-P-34 b, HAT-P-35 b, HAT-P-36 b, HAT-P-37 b and CoRoT-19 b.

2011-10-28 : Qatar-2 b (Vir) transiting exoplanet was published by Marta L. Bryan et al., 2011. This object exhibits the deepest transits (3.5%) among all known transiting exoplanets. Second - outer planet "c" is producing editional RV variations.

2011-10-28 : New transiting exoplanet WASP-36 b (Hya) were recently announced by A. M. S. Smith et al. (2011):

WASP-36b: A new transiting planet around a metal-poor G-dwarf, and an analysis of correlated noise in transit light curves

2011-10-28 : Two new confirmed exoplanets - KOI 0135b (Lyr) and KOI 0204 (Cyg) by

A. S. Bonomo et al., 2011: SOPHIE velocimetry of Kepler transit candidates. V. The three hot Jupiters KOI-135b, KOI-204b and KOI-203b (alias Kepler-17b)

2011-09-28 : According to visual inspection of all available O-C diagrams in ETD, these objects exhibits some signs of Transit Timing Variations (TTV) and require more of your attention:

GJ1214 b
GJ436 b
HAT-P-10/WASP-11 b
OGLE-TR-10 b
OGLE-TR-113 b
OGLE-TR-132 b
Qatar-1 b
TrES-1 b
WASP-12 b
XO-1 b
XO-3 b

A lot of recently discovered transiting exoplanets contans only discovery observations and is also waiting for your observing time.

And also these Keplers' objects shows clear and confirmed TTV, especially Kepler-19 b. TTV of circumbinary planet Kepler-16(AB) b exhibits TTV according to changing position of transited stars, not becouse of variability of exoplanet orbital motion.
Kepler-11 b
Kepler-11 c
Kepler-11 d
Kepler-11 e
Kepler-11 f
Kepler-16(AB) b
Kepler-19 b
Kepler-9 b
Kepler-9 c

2011-09-25 : Focusing TTV diagrams
TTV plots in Exoplanet Transit Database were updated today. Simultaneously observed transits are now plotted in TTV figure as averaged values (red squares). The original points are colored grey. This leaded to significant focusing of TTV curve for many objects.

Size of the square depends on size (quality) of original points.

See ETD.

2011-09-24 : Archive of news and updates

2011-02-09 : New transiting exoplanet WASP-39 b (Vir) was added to ETD. For details on this new target, see F. Faedi et al., 2011, WASP-39b: a highly inflated Saturn-mass planet orbiting a late G-type star

2011-02-07 : 1200 KEPLER candidates were added to ETD
We have updated the section of KEPLER candidate exoplanets with new orbital elements and new candidates published recently by J. W. Borucki and the Kepler team (see the paper).
More accurate orbital elements gives observers better opportunity to catch the transit.
AN IMPORTANT NEW: We have added all KEPLER candidates to our fitting routine, so observers can process and submit observation to the TRESCA database.

2011-02-03 : Kepler-11 b, c, d, e, f and g planets were added to ETD. Both elements and all known transits recorded by Kepler spacecraft are now available in ETD.
All informations are from: J. J. Lissauer et al., 2011, A closely packed system of low-mass, low-density planets transiting Kepler-11 (preprint available here).

2011-01-27 : According to independent discovery of HAT-P-27 by SuperWASP (as WASP-40 b), we have renamed the planet to HAT-P-27/WASP-40 b.
It is the second planet discovered by both ground-based projects.

2011-01-26 : Toady, we have corrected an error in the transit fitting routine. Previously, the limb darkening coefficient wasn't assigned to the linear law.
Effectively, this means that the previous limb darkening law was not linear. This has now been corrected. We are thankful to Giuseppe Marino for pointing out this error to us.
We do not expect any changes in the determination of mid-transit times. However, some errors could have been introduced in the depth and duration determinations. We think that the effect on depth and duration was generally very small.

2011-01-20 : New transiting exoplanet HAT-P-27 b was added to ETD.

While CoRoT-7 b, the first known tranziting super Earth has very shallow transits (0.0004 mag), the newly discovered tranziter has much deeper transits: 0.017 mag! It is orbiting a red dwarf star, not a Sun-like one. So many observers world-wide can focus on this target!
Although the star GJ 1214 is very faint in V band (V = 14.5 mag), in red and infrared colors it is much brighter (I = 11.5 mag). So 20cm telescope with CCD camera and I or Clear filter should be sufficient to obtain good photometry.
The new tranziter, GJ1214 b has been already added to ETD and so it is now available in tranzit predictions and for data submissions.
Clear skies!

2009-07-13 : Modelling of exoplanet system from transit light curve
We have added NEW FUNCTION to TRESCA & ETD transit submitions. Derived depth and length of transit are used for computing exoplanet parameters planet radius and inclination angle. Uncertainities are computed as well. The result is given both in table and as visualization of the transit event viewed from Earth. Comparation with catalogue / published parameters is available as well.
The model is located undermost in the TRESCA transit detail page.

2009-06-30 : HD80606 b - refined orbital elements
M. Gillon has published paper with detailed analysis of spectroscopic and photometric data from Feb transit of HD80606 b. The resulted transit ephemeris is
HJDmid = 2454876.323 + 111.43637*E
and transit lenght is refined to value 12.6 ^+0.7_-1.7 hours.
 
Spin-orbit misalignement for the transiting planet HD 80606b

2009-06-11 : NEW FUNCTION IN ETD We have added possibility to fit data for unknown - user defined exoplanet. Choose "user defined exoplanet" in first step of fitting procedure (bottom in selection box) and follow the instructions. In the second step, a form where exoplanet designation and coordinates can be inputed appears.
And in the next step, user must type a predicted length of transit, planet radius and impact factor (0 - 1).

2009-05-27 : Transit of HD80606 b 4th/5th June 2009 We advice observers, that famous 111d period transiter HD80606 b discovered in february will undergo another transit event expected between 04.06 19:00 UT and 05.06 12:30 UT with center of the transit 05.06 3:30 UT.
Note, that transit duration 17,2 hour used for this prediction is not sure, becouse ingress wasnt' yet observed. If we take into account sure observations - last egress - and period 111.436d, we can expect the next egress will end in 5th June, 12.30 UT. A range of duration is 17,2 - 9,5 hours, so ingress must start between 4th June, 19:10 UT and 5th June 03:16 UT.
This is the main goal for observers - catch the ingress to find out true lenght of the transit.
See chart and prediction in detail
