FOTOMCAp: a new quasi-automatic code for high-precision photometry

Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics 2016-03-16 v1 Earth and Planetary Astrophysics

Abstract

The search for Earth-like planets using the transit technique has encouraged the development of strategies to obtain light curves with increasingly precision. In this context we developed the FOTOMCAp program. This is an IRAF quasi-automatic code which employs the aperture correction method and allows to obtain high-precision light curves. In this contribution we describe how this code works and show the results obtained for planetary transits light curves.
