Abstract

Asymmetries in exoplanet transits are a useful tool for developing our understanding of magnetic activity on both stars and planets outside our Solar System. Near-UV observations of the WASP-12 system have revealed asymmetries in the timing of the transit when compared with the optical light curve. In this proceedings we review a number of reported asymmetries and present work simulating near-UV transits for the hot-Jupiter hosting star HD 189733.
