| Abstract: |
CoRoT is a 27 cm equivalent
diameter space telescope in a Low-Earth orbit. We introduce its
operations, discoveries and we present our analysis of the transit light
curves. We report several improvements in the transit light curve analysis, e.g.
improvements in the contamination factor, the sky-projected distance
determination and in the limb darkening treatment. Our work also differs from
the approach of some of the discovery papers because we used the unbinned data. We
also analyzed the colour curves.
We found that about half of the CoRoT transiting exoplanet host stars do not
follow the expected wavelength - limb darkening relationship. The preliminary
results of the analysis are reported here. |
