Photometric measurements of a Transit of Exoplanet TrES 3b

ORAL

Abstract

Using the 0.6 m Ritchey-Chretien telescope at the Paul and Jane Meyer Observatory (PJMO), light curves from a transit of exoplanet TReS 3b were produced from images made with a Roper 1300B camera. Light curves from both V and R bands will be presented. Analysis using AstroImageJ software will be discussed. Planet properties determined using the Czech Astronomical Society's transit fitting routines will be presented.
