Contribution
It provides a comprehensive review of ground-based photometric techniques and proposes new observational strategies to discover additional transiting planets.
Findings
Additional observations may find new transiting planets with 4-6 day periods.
Supports correlation between planetary mass and orbital period.
Discusses potential observational selection effects.
Abstract
This paper reviews the basic technical characteristics of the ground-based photometric searches for transiting planets, and discusses a possible observational selection effect. I suggest that additional photometric observations of the already observed fields might discover new transiting planets with periods around 4-6 days. The set of known transiting planets support the intriguing correlation between the planetary mass and the orbital period suggested already in 2005.
