    Extrasolar planet detection by binary stellar eclipse timing: evidence for a third body around CM Draconis
    Aims:Our objective is to elucidate the physical process that causes the observed observed-minus-calculated (O-C) behavior in the M4.5/M4.5 binary CM Dra and to...

    Habitable Planets Eclipsing Brown Dwarfs: Strategies for Detection and Characterization
    Given the very close proximity of their habitable zones, brown dwarfs (BDs) represent high-value targets in the search for nearby transiting habitable planets...

    Hunting for eclipsing Post Common Envelope Binaries from SDSS
    We give an overview of a project aiming to identify new eclipsing post common envelope binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This work focuses on the...

    Jupiter as an Exoplanet: UV to NIR Transmission Spectrum Reveals Hazes, a Na Layer, and Possibly Stratospheric H2O-ice Clouds
    Currently, the analysis of transmission spectra is the most successful technique to probe the chemical composition of exoplanet atmospheres. However, the...

    Once in a blue moon: detection of `bluing' during debris transits in the white dwarf WD 1145+017
    The first transiting planetesimal orbiting a white dwarf was recently detected in K2 data of WD 1145+017 and has been followed up intensively. The multiple...

    PARALAJES Lights of the Universe
    In 2015 we celebrated the International Year of Light, which is the "messenger" of astrophysical phenomena, and it was also the 30th anniversary of the official...

    Secondary eclipses in the CoRoT light curves. A homogeneous search based on Bayesian model selection
    Aims: We aim to identify and characterize secondary eclipses in the original light curves of all published CoRoT planets using uniform detection and evaluation...

    System parameters of three short-period cataclysmic variable stars
    Using photometric ULTRACAM observations of three new short-period cataclysmic variables (CVs), we model the primary eclipse light curves to extract the orbital...

    The centre-to-limb variations of solar Fraunhofer lines imprinted upon lunar eclipse spectra. Implications for exoplanet transit observations
    The atmospheres of exoplanets are commonly studied by observing the transit of the planet passing in front of its parent star. The obscuration of part of the...
