Optical Detection of Exoplanets using Transit Method with CTMO and McDonald Observatories

We report Wasp-163b and Wasp-92b observations from CTMO. In addition, McDonald Observatory and CTMO Observatory observed KOI-4546 to assist confirm a Kepler Database exoplanet candidate. Observations and detection were made utilizing the Photometric Transit Method and a data reduction technique that eliminates picture flaws that might cause data processing inaccuracies. Astro-ImageJ is used to perform photometry on calibrated photos to determine the exoplanets' radius. Wasp-163b orbits its 1.12 stellar radius host star with a radius of 13.57 (Earth) and a mass of 594. (Earth). Wasp-92b orbits its F7 host star in 2.174 days and has a Jupiter-like mass of .806 and radius 1.467 (Jupiter). Both Wasp exoplanets are considered Super Jupiter's because to their masses and radii. KOI-4546 was a Kepler exoplanet candidate with a flux change at CTMO and McDonald Observatoires.
