Sixteenth exoplanet observed at Taurus Hill Observatory

Taurus Hill Observatory began the exoplanet light curve measurements 30.4/1.5.2006 by measuring the light curve of the TrES-1. After that the observatory's research team has observed and measured fourteen exoplanets more. The latest exoplanet that observed at Taurus Hill Observatory is HAT-P-4b that Taurus Hill Observatory's observing team members Veli-Pekka Hentunen and Markku Nissinen managed to measure 10./11.5.2008.

After HAT-P-4b observation the complete list of the observed exoplanets is:

GJ436b
HAT-P-3b
HAT-P-4b
HAT-P-5b
HAT-7-Pb
HD189733b
HD209458b
TrES-1b
TrES-2b
TrES-3b
TrES-4b
WASP-1b
WASP-2b
WASP-3b
XO-1b
XO-2b

Taurus Hill Observatory is currently searching the possibilities to use observations in astronomical research and for that the observatory needs partners in cooperation. Partner candidates may contact the observatory staff for further information.
