by
Jean Schneider
update: 7 November 2003
The planets:
- Detection method: Transit (confirmation by Radial Velocity)
- Basic data:
| Name: |
OGLE-TR-3 b |
| M.sini: |
~ 0.5 MJ ? |
| Radius: |
1.4 RJ |
| Semi-major axis: |
~ 0.025 AU |
| Orbital period: |
1.1899 d. |
| Eccentricity: |
- |
| Omega (deg): |
- |
| T_peri (JD-2450000): |
2060.22765 |
| Inclination: |
~ 90 deg ? |
- Remarks:
3 Jun. 26: Konacki et al (2003a) interpret the transit as a probable
blend by a background eclipsing binary
3 Mar. 03: Possible planet, to be confirmed (Dreizler et al 2003).
Konacki et al (2003) interpret OGLE-TR-3 b as a grazing star.
