These results are a student project. This project was implemented in the transit of exoplanets. All steps were done through Internet communication. During this ten days project, a two-hour online training class and then the use of two software were taught. Students were able to extract the parameters of several exoplanets using data from the website of the Czech Astronomical Society (ETD).
Phoebe software has been used to calculate the normalized flux. Also, Exofast online software was also used to extract the initial parameters of transit. NEA's catalog for exoplanet was used for preliminary comparisons and some necessary information.
This short student project was done during 6-17 April 2020, and supported by the International Occultation Timing Association Middle East section, And teaching Mr. Atila Poro.
