31 May 07: Exoplanet News: Geir Klingenberg Measures a Transit

Geir Klingenberg, RAS Observatory, measured a transit of the known Neptune-sozed planet orbiting the nearby star GJ436 . Every 2.64 day it passes in front of its host star as seen form earth, dimming the light by a small amount. Transiting exoplanets like this is of great interest since they provide more information about the planet than non-transiting ones. Read his report in PDF format.

Erlend Rønnekleiv has posted his first exoplanet report detailing his work at the RASO on HD 189733.

Exoplanet Simulation Research. Systemic seeks help from the community. To quote: "The goal of the systemic research collaboration is to improve our statistical understanding of the galactic planetary census. This will be accomplished through a large-scale simulation in which the public is invited to participate."

Bruce L Gary Research Projects provides a lot of information regarding photometry and exoplanet research.

CBA Belgium Observatory this is an excellent website by Tonny Vanmunster. He keeps the website current and provides a lot of exoplanet information.

Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia: homepage containing several exoplanet links including a current catalog of known exoplanets.

Transitsearch.org is the Transitsearch homepage and has links to news, Systemic, Transitsearch Candidate Site, Transitsearch Candidate Assignment Algorithm Site, observing procedures tutorials, and several publications regarding exoplanet research.

Transitsearch Candidate Assignment Algorithm returns a rank-ordered candidate list to observers who specify a desired observation window and location on Earth.

Transitsearch Candidate Site provides up-to-date ephemeris and transit search results for all known extrasolar planets.
