We report on the detection of the secondary eclipse of the very-hot Jupiter OGLE-TR-56b from combined z-band time series photometry obtained with the VLT and Magellan telescopes. We measure a flux decrement of 0.0363+/-0.0091 percent from the combined Magellan and VLT datasets, which indicates a blackbody brightness temperature of 2718 (+127/-107) K, a very low albedo, and a small incident radiation redistribution factor, indicating a lack of strong winds in the planets atmosphere. The measured secondary depth is consistent with thermal emission, but our precision is not sufficient to distinguish between a black-body emitting planet, or emission as predicted by models with strong optical absorbers such as TiO/VO. This is the first time that thermal emission from an extrasolar planet is detected at optical wavelengths and with ground-based telescopes.

We present high precision K-band photometry of the transit and secondary eclipse of extrasolar planet OGLE-TR-113, using the SOFI near-infrared instrument on ESOs NTT. Data were taken in 5 second exposures over two periods of 3-4 hours, using random
jitter position offsets. In this way, a relative photometric precision of ~1% per frame was achieved, avoiding systematic effects that seem to become dominant at precisions exceeding this level, and resulting in an overall accuracy of 0.1% per ~10 minutes. The observations of the transit show a flat bottom light-curve indicative of a significantly lower stellar limb-darkening at near-infrared than at optical wavelengths. The observations of the secondary eclipse result in a 3 sigma detection of emission from the exoplanet at 0.17+-0.05%. However, residual systematic errors make this detection rather tentative.
We present the results of a ground-based search for the secondary eclipse of the 3.3 Mjup transiting planet CoRoT-2b. We performed near infrared photometry using the LIRIS instrument on the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope, in the H and K_s filters.
We monitored the star around two expected secondary eclipses in two nights under very good observing conditions. For the depth of the secondary eclipse we find in H-band a 3 sigma upper limit of 0.17%, whereas we detected a tentative eclipse with a depth of 0.16+-0.09% in the K_s-band. These depths can be translated into brightness temperatures of T_H<2250 K and T_{K_s} = 1890(+260-350) K, which indicate an inefficient re-distribution of the incident stellar flux from the planets dayside to its nightside. Our results are in agreement with the CoRoT optical measurement (Alonso et al. 09) and with Spitzer 4.5 and 8 micron results (Gillon et al. 09c).
We describe the detection of water vapor in the atmosphere of the transiting hot Jupiter KELT-2Ab by treating the star-planet system as a spectroscopic binary with high-resolution, ground-based spectroscopy. We resolve the signal of the planets motio
n with deep combined flux observations of the star and the planet. In total, six epochs of Keck NIRSPEC $L$-band observations were obtained, and the full data set was subjected to a cross correlation analysis with a grid of self-consistent atmospheric models. We measure a radial projection of the Keplerian velocity, $K_P$, of 148 $pm$ 7 km s$^{-1}$, consistent with transit measurements, and detect water vapor at 3.8$sigma$. We combine NIRSPEC $L$-band data with $Spitzer$ IRAC secondary eclipse data to further probe the metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen ratio of KELT-2Abs atmosphere. While the NIRSPEC analysis provides few extra constraints on the $Spitzer$ data, it does provide roughly the same constraints on metallicity and carbon-to-oxygen ratio. This bodes well for future investigations of the atmospheres of non-transiting hot Jupiters.
We present here new transmission spectra of the hot Jupiter HD-189733b using the SpeX instrument on the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility. We obtained two nights of observations where we recorded the primary transit of the planet in the J-, H- and K-b
ands simultaneously, covering a spectral range from 0.94 to 2.42 {mu}m. We used Fourier analysis and other de-trending techniques validated previously on other datasets to clean the data. We tested the statistical significance of our results by calculating the auto-correlation function, and we found that, after the detrending, auto-correlative noise is diminished at most frequencies. Additionally, we repeated our analysis on the out-of-transit data only, showing that the residual telluric contamination is well within the error bars. While these techniques are very efficient when multiple nights of observations are combined together, our results prove that even one good night of observations is enough to provide statistically meaningful data. Our observed spectra are consistent with space-based data recorded in the same wavelength interval by multiple instruments, indicating that ground-based facilities are becoming a viable and complementary option to spaceborne observatories. The best fit to the features in our data was obtained with water vapor. Our error bars are not small enough to address the presence of additional molecules, however by combining the information contained in other datasets with our results, it is possible to explain all the available observations with a modelled atmospheric spectrum containing water vapor, methane, carbon monoxide and hazes/clouds.
In this research, 14 light curves of 10 hot Jupiter exoplanets available on Exoplanet Transit Database (ETD) were analyzed. We extracted the transit parameters using EXOFAST software. Finally, we compared the planets radius parameter calculated by th
e EXOFAST with the value at the NASA Exoplanet Archive (NEA) using the confidence interval method. According to the results obtained from this comparison, there is an acceptable match for the planets radius with NEA values. Also, based on the average value of 350 mm optics in this study, it shows that the results obtained using small telescopes can be very significant if there is appropriate observational skill to study more discovered planets.
