Eva Meyer MPIA-Student-Workshop, Italy And what about AO effects? maybe there remains a residual defocus or other distortions one need a reference pattern of background-stars to determine the platescale and changes due to instrumental effects
Eva Meyer MPIA-Student-Workshop, Italy And what about AO effects? maybe there remains a residual defocus or other distortions one need a reference pattern of background-stars to determine the platescale and changes due to instrumental effects but the background-stars can have their own pm and parallax
Eva Meyer MPIA-Student-Workshop, Italy Transits Venustransit June 2004
Eva Meyer MPIA-Student-Workshop, Italy Transits Photometric detection Depth of lightcurve yields planet-radius (~ 1% for Jupiter) Tres-1 HD209458
Eva Meyer MPIA-Student-Workshop, Italy Transit Parameters derived: P, T 0, i ~ 90°, R p /R S Together with the mass of the planet from RV measurements one can derive the density of the planet
