Description
Exoplanetary transits produce a double-horned color signature that is
distinct from both binaries and blends and can thus be used to separate
exoplanets from false positives in transit searches. Color photometry
with precision sufficient to detect this signal in transits of
HD 209458 is available in the literature. Analysis of these
observations reveals that, while the signature does exhibit the expected
shape, it is significantly stronger than PHOENIX atmospheric models
predict.
