Really! It’s just that it’s such a bizarre and unique world that I’m convinced that it has the potential to give us a lot of insight into how extrasolar Jovian planets behave.

In 2001, a press release was sent out announcing the discovery of eleven new planets. This bumper crop included two particularly amazing systems, HD 80606, and HD 82943. HD 80606 harbors a massive planet on an extremely eccentric orbit, and I was very interested to fit the data myself in order to estimate the uncertainties in the transit windows.

The first, HD 80606 has been an elusive, and long-running target for the transitsearch.org collaboration. The parent star, HD 80606A is a relatively ordinary metal-rich solar-type star in a wide binary. It harbors a planet with an absolutely crazy orbit: P=111.4 days, e=0.935. In the figure below, we plot its position at daily intervals, with the orbits of Earth, Venus, and Mercury shown for comparison: [...] [...] Our recent transit searches have focused on two interesting planetary systems.
