TL;DR
This paper reports on the search for exoplanet candidates using SuperWASP data, identifying 35 promising candidates from millions of stars observed in a specific RA range, through a detailed filtering process.
Contribution
The study introduces a thorough selection procedure combining catalogue data and SuperWASP observations to identify exoplanet candidates in a specific RA range.
Findings
11,626 objects selected from 184,442 stars
35 candidates identified for follow-up
Effective filtering reduces transit mimics
Abstract
The SuperWASP-I instrument observed 6.7 million stars between 8-15 mag from La Palma during the 2004 May-September season. Our transit-hunting algorithm selected 11,626 objects from the 184,442 stars within the range RA 18hr-21hr. We describe our thorough selection procedure whereby catalogue information is exploited along with careful study of the SuperWASP data to filter out, as far as possible, transit mimics. We have identified 35 candidates which we recommend for follow-up observations.
