Abstract

SomangNet team aims to make use of small- to medium-sized telescopes for photometric follow-up observations of transiting extrasolar planets orbiting a bright host star. Newly discovered transiting planets need frequent monitoring in order to maintain knowledge of the transit ephemeris. DOAO 1.0 m telescope and CBNUO 0.6 m telescopes are used for our monitoring. We will present some preliminary results of our observations and analysis.
