This is a difficult target.

 This is my fit to Garcia-Melendo's data when a +3.5 mmag meridian flip zero-shift was applied to data after 24.9 UT.  Zero shifts matter and the reduced chi-square criterion allows for a wide range of zero-shift values. Consequently, uncertainties for mid-transit time, length and depth are greater than for any single zero-shift assumption (using chi-square). My subjective interpretation is that mid-transit HJD = 4876.30 +- 0.15, length = 11 +- 2 hrs, depth = 8.9 +- 0.5 mmag. The publication by Garcia-Melendo & McCullough give 4876.33 +-?, 11.3 +- ? and 10 +-? mmag.


This is my fit to Garcia-Melendo's data. Thanks, Enrique, for sharing your data with AXA. No zero shift was applied to meridian flip at 24.9 UT, as suggested by Garcia-Melendo.

Out-of-Transit Light Curves


After egress (beginning of observations ~1.1 hrs after egress).


Before ingress (end of observations ~10 hrs before ingress).

Miscellaneous Information


Greg Laughlin produced this diagram of the HD 870606b orbit before the transit of 2009 February 13.

 

Greg Laughlin's depiction of the geometry for the primary transit of 2009.02.14 (created before the event).

Since Arizona observers failed to see an egress on the day before the Europeans observed egress it is possible to place an upper limit on transit length:  L <= 12 hours. This is illustrated by a graph that Greg Laughlin posted on his oklo web site. Here's a "lift" from that web page:


Greg Laughlin's constraint on L (from oklo web site: http://oklo.org/

This helps constrain the "impact parameter" (ratio = closest arc distance to star center ÷ star radius) to ~ 0.85.
