Detection of Extra-Solar planet by transit method and derivation its parameter

Abstract

The transit method is one of the ways of detecting Extra-Solar planets. Even small telescopes can be applied to this method, and the obtained results provide us various parameters of planets when we combined by the Doppler shift method.
The 50cm telescope in the Mitaka campus of National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) is used to observe the extra solar planetary systems detected by the N2K Consortium as the candidates of the transit objects. In this poster paper, we report our research outline together with the results of the analysis of our observations performed until now.
