Scientific paper
Analytical formulae for the computation of the photometric elements of extra-solar planetary transits are presented. They were initially derived for the study of well-detached eclipsing binaries and are valid for any degree of limb darkening and type of transit as well as for eccentric orbits. The only assumption is that the projections of the star and the planet on the plane of the sky are well represented by circular discs. The procedure to get valid ranges for the involved parameters, as well as to make precise estimations of initial parameters, using the analytical nature of the equations is given together with some discussion on their practical application. Examples are shown for OGLE-TR-113, representative of a light curve obtained with ground-based telescopes, and HD 209458 with a precise light curve obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope.
