Stellar Parameters and Radial Velocities for Transiting

Project Description: |
Planets that transit their host stars (TEPs) are extremely
valuable, because it is possible to study their physical
properties, such as their bulk density and atmospheric composition. As
part of a search for TEPs we are conducting follow-up observations to
narrow down the list of previously identified candidates, and to
eliminate other astrophysical scenarios (eclipsing binaries, blends,
etc.) that mimic TEPs. |
