Transits of exoplanet XO-3b
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present photometry of 13 transits of XO-3b, a massive transiting planet on an eccentric orbit.
Description
Previous data led to two inconsistent estimates of the planetary radius. Our data strongly favor the smaller radius, with increased precision: R_p_=1.217+/-0.073R_{sun}_.
A conflict remains between the mean stellar density determined from the light curve, and the stellar surface gravity determined from the shapes of spectral lines. We argue the light curve should take precedence, and revise the system parameters accordingly. The planetary radius is about 1{sigma} larger than the theoretical radius for a hydrogen-helium planet of the given mass and insolation.

To help in planning future observations, we provide refined transit and occultation ephemerides.
