摘要:

我们用CbNUOJ 0.6米望远镜对明亮的凌日系外行星进行了光度跟踪观测。我们已经测试了通过应用望远镜散焦技术获得高测光精度的可能性,该技术允许使用几百秒的曝光时间进行单次测量。我们证明,这种技术是能够获得一个均方根散射的顺序亚毫米级超过几个小时的V $\sim$ 10主恒星典型的过境行星从地面测量设施检测。我们比较我们的结果与过境观测望远镜在焦点模式。由于收集了大量光子,与其他随机和系统噪声源相比,获得了更高的光度精度,从而产生更高的信号。精确的望远镜跟踪很可能通过探测CCD上的相同像素来进一步有助于降低系统噪声。此外,较长的曝光时间有助于减少闪烁噪声的影响,否则闪烁噪声对以聚焦模式操作的小孔径望远镜有显著影响。最后,我们提出了四个光变曲线的均方根散射的0.70至2.3毫量级的建模结果已经实现。

英文摘要:

We have carried out photometric follow-up observations of bright transiting extrasolar planets using the CbNUOJ 0.6m telescope. We have tested the possibility of obtaining high photometric precision by applying the telescope defocus technique allowing the use of several hundred seconds in exposure time for a single measurement. We demonstrate that this technique is capable of obtaining a root-mean-square scatter of order sub-millimagnitude over several hours for a V $\sim$ 10 host star typical for transiting planets detected from ground-based survey facilities. We compare our results with transit observations with the telescope operated in in-focus mode. High photometric precision is obtained due to the collection of a larger amount of photons resulting in a higher signal compared to other random and systematic noise sources. Accurate telescope tracking is likely to further contribute to lowering systematic noise by probing the same pixels on the CCD. Furthermore, a longer exposure time helps reducing the effect of scintillation noise which otherwise has a significant effect for small-aperture telescopes operated in in-focus mode. Finally we present the results of modelling four light-curves for which a root-mean-square scatter of 0.70 to 2.3 milli-magnitudes have been achieved.
