Scientific paper

With the longest orbital period (21.2 d) and the largest eccentricity (e=0.67) of currently known transiting extrasolar planets, HD 17156b is a fascinating planet. We present observations of recent transits, and using previously published photometry and radial velocities we derive improved system parameters. The transit timings show a non-linear O-C, suggesting the presence of a third body in the system.
