Super-Earth (radius = 4.0 x R_Earth, mass = 24 x M_Earth), discovered by Kepler Mission. I include it in the BTE in spite of its small depth because it represents a challenge to amateur observers wanting to see if they can detect a sub-mmag transit!

Basic data

    RA = 19:02:27.7, DE = +50:08:09
    Season = July 08
    V = 12.7,
    HJDo = 4956.6127 (15) and P = 3.21346 (22) days (as listed in Schneider's Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia, HJDo corrected from earlier value)
    Depth = 0.78 ± 0.03 mmag (CLR-band (430-890 nm))
    Length = 4.39 ± 0.08 hr
    Fp = 0.?? ± 0.??, F2 = 0.?? ± 0.??
    b = 0.022 ± 0.234,0.022
