Transit Timing of the OGLE Planets
Abstract
One way to find new exoplanets is to monitor the timing of multiple transits of a known exoplanet and search for deviations from a strictly constant period. We present results from a program to obtain high-quality transit light curves using large telescopes with frame-transfer CCDs. New transits have been observed of five OGLE planets using the 6.5m Magellan telescopes. We report transit times and system parameters for several planets and discuss prospects for ground based efforts to detect timing variations.
