This website provides results from the article titled “TESS Transit Timing of Hundreds of Hot Jupiters”.

We provide a database of transit times and updated ephemerides for 382 planets based on data from the NASA Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and previously reported transit times which were scraped from the literature in a semi-automated fashion. In total, our database contains 8,667 transit timing measurements for 382 systems. About 240 planets in the catalog are hot Jupiters that have been observed by TESS. The new ephemerides are useful for scheduling follow-up observations and searching for long-term period changes. WASP-12 remains the only system for which a period change is securely detected. We remark on other cases of interest, such as a few systems with suggestive (but not yet convincing) evidence for period changes, and the detection of a second transiting planet in the NGTS-11 system. The compilation of light curves, transit times, ephemerides, and timing residuals are made available on this website, along with the Python code that generated them.

Content

The Database page provides a link to download the entire transit time database containing 8,667 timing measurements for 382 systems. You may also download a table with ephemerides from this page.

The Ephemerides page provides updated ephemerides for each of the 382 targets.

You may use the Search bar to look up data for a specific planet. The resulting page will contain a given planet’s ephemeris and O-C diagram, individual transit times as well as figures of TESS light curves from which transit times were derived in this work (if available).
