1112.6268 (Alexios Liakos et al.)

The third body in the eclipsing binary AV CMi: Hot Jupiter or brown dwarf?    [PDF]

Alexios Liakos, Dimitris Mislis, Panagiotis Niarchos
New transit light curves of the third body in the system AV CMi have been obtained. The eclipsing pair's light curves were re-analysed with the W-D code and new absolute elements were derived for the two components. Moreover the new light curves (together with those given by Liakos & Niarchos 2010) of the third body transiting one of the components were analysed with the Photometric Software for Transits (PhoS-T). The results from both analyses are combined with the aim to study the nature of the third component.
