Abstract:
Planet transit searches promise to be the next breakthrough for
extrasolar planet detection and will bring the characterization of
short-period planets into a new era. Every transiting planet
discovered will have a measured radius, which will provide constraints
on planet composition, evolution, and migration history. Together with
radial velocity measurements, the absolute mass of every transiting
planet will be determined. In this paper we discuss the design
considerations of the Extrasolar Planet Occultation Research (EXPLORE)
project, a series of transiting planet searches using 4-m class
telescopes to continuously monitor a single field of stars in the
Galactic plane in each ∼2 week observing campaign.
