UBV(RI)C photometry of transiting planet hosting stars
(Oxford University Press, 2011)
We present new UBV(RI)C photometry of 22 stars that host transiting planets, 19 of which
were discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey. We use these data
together with Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) ...
