cds-question@unistra.frmultiple-starssolar-system-planetsinfrared-photometryvisible-astronomyphotometryThe Apache Point Survey of Transit Lightcurves of Exoplanets (APOSTLE) observed 11 transits of TrES-3b over two years in order to constrain system parameters and look for transit timing and depth variations. We describe an updated analysis protocol for APOSTLE data, including the reduction pipeline, transit model, and Markov Chain Monte Carlo analyzer. Our estimates of the system parameters for TrES-3b are consistent with previous estimates to within the 2{sigma} confidence level. We improved the errors (by 10%-30%) on system parameters such as the orbital inclination (i_orb_), impact parameter (b), and stellar density ({rho}_{sstarf}_) compared to previous measurements. The near-grazing nature of the system, and incomplete sampling of some transits, limited our ability to place reliable uncertainties on individual transit depths and hence we do not report strong evidence for variability. Our analysis of the transit timing data shows no evidence for transit timing variations and our timing measurements are able to rule out super-Earth and gas giant companions in low-order mean motion resonance with TrES-3b.2013ApJ...764....8Khttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/764/8CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/AJ/145/68 : Five new transit light curves of TrES-3 (Jiang+, 2013)J/ApJ/757/161 : Spectroscopy of 56 exoplanet host stars (Torres+, 2012)J/ApJS/197/8 : Kepler's cand. mult. transiting planets (Lissauer+, 2011)J/A+A/529/A75 : Limb-darkening coefficients (Claret+, 2011)J/ApJ/736/19 : Kepler planetary candidates.
