TESS-W Photometer

The TESS-W photometer allows us to share sky brightness data on the networkSTARS4ALL, but it is also a good complement to the astronomical observatory.  

The effect of Stellar limb-darkening on transit light curves

There are two main bodies involved in modelling a transit phenomenon: the star and the
planet. We are staring this educational journey by describing the stellar part of the transit
model.

Observation of exoplanets with photometric filters (I)

The topic that we are going to deal with next has to do with exoplanets, specifically with the observation of transits of exoplanets, but I will include a proposal, or describe a technique, that can be used by non-professional astronomers.
