Planetary Companions: Detection

Scientific paper

The authors offer further perspectives on the application of the photometric technique to the search for extrasolar planets. The principal obstacles to this approach include (1) the ambiguous interpretation of the photometric signature of a possible transit event arising from the potential for confusion with stellar activity and (2) the observational intensity of the search technique. The authors emphasize that the former issue can be addressed through multiband observations combined with consideration of the characteristic time scales of forms of stellar activity compared to the time scale of a transit event. In the case of the latter concern, the advent of modern, automated telescope technologies offers the realistic prospect of meeting the demanding observational requirements of this approach.
