Description
An exoplanet is a planet surrounding another star. Sometimes, these planets pass in front of another star, and we can see a dip in the light from the star. This is becuase the planet block a portion of the light. We report five observations of transits candidate exoplanets identified through the tool available to members of the TESS Follow-up Observers Program SG01. In three of the observations, we observed partial or full transits. In each case, we calculated relative flux of the exoplanet candidate using stellar plot and EXOTIC. Both were used to confirm that we had seen a transit and to check parameters of the transit for consistency. We reported one of the transits to the TESS project.
