Description

An asymmetry between the ingress and egress times was observed in thenear-UV light curve of the transit planet WASP-12b. Such asymmetry ledus to suggest that the early ingress in the UV light curve of WASP-12b,compared to the optical observations, is caused by a shock around theplanet, and that shocks should be a common feature in transitingsystems. Here, we classify all the transiting systems known to dateaccording to their potential for producing shocks that could causeobservable light curve asymmetries.(1 data file).
