Scientific paper

We have undertaken an observational program to photometrically monitor several transiting planet host stars. The Rabus et al. result for TrES-1 showed the dramatic effects star spots can have on transit photometry. We will investigate the effects of spots on transit light curves and estimates of planetary radii. The observed spot patterns will be used to derive the rotational periods of our sample. Our sample includes several of the newly discovered transiting ESPs from the SuperWASP, HAT, TrES, and Kepler projects.
