The planet orbits a relatively bright (V=11.44), early-K main-sequence star at an orbital period of P ∼ 3:506 days. An SED fit to available multi-band photometry, ranging from the near-UV to the mid-IR, yields a distance of d = 101 ± 6 pc to the system.

  • 'Hot Jupiter' Detected by the Qatar Exoplanet Survey 18 December 2017, by Tomasz Nowakowski
    New grazing transiting 'hot Jupiter' detected by the Qatar Exoplanet Survey 18 December 2017, by Tomasz Nowakowski Now, a team of astronomers, led by Khalid Alsubai of the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) in Doha, Qatar, reports the finding of a new addition to the short list of planets in a grazing transit configuration. They discovered Qatar-6b as part of the QES survey, which utilizes the New Mexico Skies Observatory located at Mayhill, New Mexico. "In this paper, we present the discovery of Qatar-6b, a newly found hot Jupiter on a grazing transit," the researchers wrote in the paper. According to the study, Qatar-6b has a radius about 6 percent larger than Jupiter and a mass of approximately 0.67 Jupiter masses, which indicates a density of 0.68 g/cm3. The exoplanet orbits its The discovery light curve for Qatar-6b phase folded with parent star every 3.5 days at a distance of about the BLS estimated period, as it appears in the QES 0.04 AU from the host. Due to the proximity of this archive. Credit: Alsubai et al., 2017. planet to the star, astronomers estimate that it has an equilibrium temperature of 1,006 K. The parameters suggest that Qatar-6b belongs to (Phys.org)—An international group of astronomers group of planets known as "hot Jupiters." These has found a new grazing transiting "hot Jupiter" exoworlds are similar in characteristics to the solar alien world as part of the Qatar Exoplanet Survey system's biggest planet, with orbital periods of less (QES).

    AST413 Gezegen Sistemleri ve Oluşumu Ders 4 : Geçiş Yöntemi – I Yöntemin Temelleri Geçiş Yöntemi HD 209458 b Charbonneau vd. 2000 2000 yılında David Charbonneau dikine hız yöntemiyle keşfedilmiş HD 209458 b’nin bir geçişini gözledi. Bu ilk gezegen geçiş gözlemidir. Charbonneau, cismin yörünge parametrelerini dikine hızdan bildiği için teleskobunu yapıyorsa geçişini gözlemek üzere ne zaman cisme doğrultması gerektiğini biliyordu. Ancak, gezegenin gözlemicyle arasından geçiş yapmak gibi bir zorunluluğu da yoktur. Venüs Geçişi Venüs örneğinde gördüğümüz gibi gezegen yıldızın önünden geçerken, yıldızın ışığı gezegenin (varsa) atmosferinin içinden geçerek bize ulaşır. Bu da -ideal durumda- gezegenin atmosferini çalışmamıza olanak sağlayabilir. Sıcak Jüpiterler Gerçekten Var! 51 Peg b keşfinden sonra sıcak Jüpiterlerin (yıldızına 1/20 AB'den daha yakın dev gaz gezegenler) yıldızlarına bu kadar yakın oluşup oluşamayacakları, sistemin başka bir yerinden göç etmiş olabilme olasılıkları hatta var olup olmadıkları uzun süre tartışıldı. Ancak bu cisimlerin yarıçaplarının (R p) büyük olması ve yıldızlarına yakınlıkları (a), daha büyük geçiş ışık değişim genliği ve daha kısa geçiş dönemi nedeniyle onların geçiş yöntemiyle keşfedillme olasılıklarını da arttırdığından, bu yöntemle diğer gezegenlere göre daha kolay keşfedilmelerini de sağladı. Dikine hız tekniğiyle keşfedilen HD 209458b, geçiş de gösteriyordu ve dikine hız ölçümleriyle, geçiş gözlemleri birlikte değerlendirildiğinde bu sıcak Jüpiter türü gezegenin gerçekten var olduğu kanıtlanmış oldu! Charbonneau vd. 2000 Mazeh vd. 2000 Geçiş Olasılığı Öncelikle gezegenin yörüngesinin çembersel (e = 0) olduğunu varsayalım. Bu durumda gezegenin gözlemcinin bakış yönü doğrultusunda yıldızla arasından (sıyırarak da olsa) geçmesi için yörüngenin yarı-büyük eksen uzunluğu a’nın cos i çarpanı kadar kısaltılmış kesitinin (a cos i) yıldızın yarıçapı ile gezegen yarıçapı toplamından (R* + Rg) küçük olması gerekir (a cos i ≤ R* + Rg).

With the launch of the Kepler Space telescope in 2009, there are over three thousand confirmed exoplanets, and over four thousand Kepler Objects of Interest (KOI's), which are possible exoplanet candidates. With so much data obtained from Kepler, NASA relies on ground based observatories to follow up and confirm KOI's as exoplanets or false positives.
