Description

Photometric curve of the transit of exoplanet WASP-43-b. The transient 2-3% mag drop demonstrates the extrasolar planet passing in front of its parent star.

111 images, 60 sec bin 2 with R filter, slightly defocused to spread the signal on the CCD chip, SBIG STL6303E, T60 (600/1200 newton) Pic du Midi (2880 m). Calibration and analysis with Muniwin v2. Comp = comparison stars averaged as a synthetic reference star, check = control stars to verify variations in comp stars mag.

The B image shows the data model-fitted with the ETD Exoplanet Transit Database website.

Observed midtransit (HJD) = 2457012.64439 +/- 0.00032, duration = 72.1 +/- 1.3 and depth 0.0291 +/- 0.0009 fits well with predicted values.
