1 Transit Surveys

2 Abschätzung für unser Sonnensystem Planet Umlaufzeit Transitdauer ΔF Wahrscheinlichkeit [Jahr] [Stunde] [%] [%] Merkur Erde Jupiter Neptun Exoplanet ~1 ~10 => Beobachtung vieler Sterne über einen längeren Zeitraum

3 This is where we have to be clever : N * : Detection probabilities To detect 1 transit N T we need to multiply the total number of detected stars in a target field, N stars, by: Things we can do nothing about : P g : Fraction of systems seen edge-on f: Fraction of stars with giant planets Something that just needs patience : P cov : N T = N stars P g f P cov N * coverage of a planet s orbit by observations Number of useful stars in the field-of-view with sufficient S/N depends on: instrument, observing conditions, photometry, field binary stars N * = N dwarf N S/N selection,

4 What Telescope to pick? FoV (the bigger the better) Magnitude range (go for the brightest?) Number of Stars (the more the merrier) Other factors: CCD high QE low noise Stable over long timescales Readout time Alignement working
