Scientific paper

We present transit observations of planets with large atmospheric scale heights (WASP-15b and WASP-17b) using the high-speed multi-band photometer ULTRACAM. We used several filter combinations (both broad and narrow band) to accurately measure transit depths in the optical regime. The ongoing analysis of these data allows us to perform transmission photometry to probe the opacity sources in the atmospheres of these planets. Our choice of filter combinations is designed to detect features arising from TiO, Na or Rayleigh scattering.
