TEST The Tautenburg Exoplanet Search Telescope

Abstract: Abstract. The Tautenburg Exoplanet Search Telescope (TEST) is a robotic telescope system. The telescope uses a folded Schmidt Camera with a 300mm main mirror. The focal length is 940mm and it gives a 2.2 • × 2.2 • field of view. Dome, mount, and CCD cameras are controlled by a software bundle made by Software Bisque. The automation of the telescope includes selection of the night observing program from a given framework, taking darks and skyflats, field identification, guiding, data taking, and archiving.

“…The eclipsing binary presented in our work was detected in both surveys (Voss 2006;Eigmüller 2012) as planetary candidate. The object was published as an uncharacterized Algol type binary in Pasternacki et al (2011) with the identifier BEST F2_06375 after its planetary status was excluded.…”

“…Photometric observations were taken during surveys for transiting planets with the Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope (BEST; Rauer et al 2004) and the Tautenburg Exoplanet Search Telescope (TEST; Eigmüller & Eislöffel 2009). With both telescopes the same circumpolar field close to the galactic plane was observed for several years.…”

“…Thanks to the increasing number of exoplanet search programs, such as the ground-based Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) (Udalski et al 1992), the Hungarian Automated Telescope (HAT) (Bakos et al 2002(Bakos et al , 2004, the Super Wide Angle Search for Planets (SuperWASP) (Street et al 2003), the Berlin Exoplanet Search Telescope (BEST) (Rauer et al 2004), XO (McCullough et al 2005), the Transatlantic Exoplanet Survey (TrES) (Alonso et al 2007), and the Tautenburg Exoplanet Search Telescope (TEST) (Eigmüller & Eislöffel 2009) and the space-based missions "Convection, Rotation & Planetary Transits" (CoRoT) (Baglin et al 2002) and Kepler (Christensen-Dalsgaard et al 2007), the number of exoplanet transits has grown to 62 until September 1st 2009 2 and will grow drastically within the next years. These transiting planets have very short periods, typically <10 d, and very small semimajor axes of usually <0.1 AU, which is a selection effect based on geometry and Kepler's third law (Kepler et al 1619).…”
