Observability Predictor

Remarks

25 Jan 2022
Wong et al. (2022) find an orbital decay of the period of 29.81 ± ms/year
04 Apr 2019:
A change in the depth of the secondary eclipse claimed by Hooton et al. (2019)
28 Jan 2013:
A second planet is perhaps present in the system, infered from TTVs (Maciejewski et al. 2013)
20 Mar. 2010:
Campo et al (2010) have observed two secondary transits, leading to a precession rate for ω of ω'=0.02 deg./day.
Warning: The period given in the table is the present sideral period Ps.
For the calculation of future transit ephemeris TE, observers should use eqs. (7) and (8) of Campo et al. 2010.
