Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey
- Trans-Atlantic Exoplanet Survey
The Trans-atlantic Exoplanet Survey or "TrES", uses three 4-inch (10cm) telescopes located at Lowell Observatory, Mount Palomar, and the Canary Islands to locate exoplanets. The array uses 4-inch Schmidt telescopes having CCD cameras and automated search routines. The survey was created by David Charbonneau of the Center for Astrophysics, Timothy Brown of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and Edward Dunham of Lowell Observatory.
It has discovered four planets so far, TrES-1, TrES-2, TrES-3, and TrES-4 (original story http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/070806_largest_exoplanet.html) out of hundreds of potential candidates.
