Abstract

We present the exoplanet transit phenomena detected by the Sharjah Astronomical Observatory (SAO-M47) located in Sharjah United Arab Emirates. In this work, the object to observe is the transited Hot-Jupiter exoplanets: TrES-1b, WASP-104b, and HAT-P-54b by using UV-IR cut filter width band from 420nm to 685nm. The obtained results have been compared with the results from the first published paper and other observations using several filters to recognize the differences that studied the three Hot-Jupiter exoplanets. The study, in general, focused on how changes in a planet's size are influenced by the particles in its atmosphere. Tested by wide band filter UV-IR cut filter and multiwavelength observations this work's results are comparable to the previous work in a specific point is the relation between fine and large particles detected the scattering effect by blocking the host star light. Several other parameters such as Orbit Inclination (i) and Transit Duration Tdir will be presented with the obtained results, which were (1.205 ± 0.019 RJUP, 1.028 +0.046 / -0.049 RJUP, 1.079+0.040/-0.042RJUP) for TrES1b, HAT-P-54b and WASP-104b, respectively. The rest of the parameters are included in the tables.
