Analyzing Ten Color Photometry Light Curves for Eight Planet Candidates

NASA's TESS mission was launched in 2018 with the goal of monitoring the brightest stars near Earth for potential exoplanet transits. Due to its low angular resolution, it is not able to rule out false positives caused by stars within its field of view. For this reason, ground based observers use larger telescopes with greater angular resolution to confirm these targets as part of the TESS follow-up program (TFOP). To this end, eight potential exoplanet targets of interest were analyzed over the span of ten weeks from 2026 Jan 6 to 2026 Mar 9. To protect proprietary data prior to publication, the targets were given pseudonyms and are as follows: TOI-A, a sub-Jupiter (10.0 RP/REarth) with a 6.06 d period, TOI-B, a sub-Saturn (6.6 RP/REarth) with an unknown period, TOI-C, a large target (19.1 RP/REarth) with a 2.95 d period, TOI-D, a Neptune (3.7 RP/REarth) with a 0.87 d period, TOI-E, a large target (13.8 RP/REarth) with a 3.42 d period, TOI-F, a large target (17.1 RP/REarth) with a 2.95 d period, TOI-G, a large Uranus (4.6 RP/REarth) with a 3.55 d period, and TOI-H, a super-Earth (1.9 RP/REarth) with a 2.17 d period. Observations were conducted by the LCO network from UT 2025 Dec 21 to 2026 Feb 10 on these targets. Analyses were submitted to TFOP sub group 1 (SG1) with the goal of increasing our understanding of exoplanets by confirming and cataloguing planet candidates. TOI-3665.01 and TOI-7615.01 are of greatest interest as they have radii closest to that of Earth and orbit cooler K and M-dwarfs respectively.
