Introduction
============
This data set set contains raw images of eight known transiting
extrasolar planetary systems (hot Jupiters) acquired by the Deep
Impact High Resolution Visible CCD during the EPOCh phase of the
EPOXI mission. From 22 January through 31 August 2008 the HRIV CCD
collected over 172,000 usable, photometric-quality visible light
images of these transiting planet systems: HAT-P-4, HAT-P-7, GJ 436,
TrES-2, TrES-3, XO-2, XO-3, and WASP-3. Time series of continuous
50-second integrations were used with the clear filter (#6) to
observe each system for about three weeks, typically covering five or
more transits as well as secondary eclipses. An exception was XO-3
which was only observed briefly due to the spacecraft entering safe
mode. The transiting planet systems were observed in the integrated
light of the planet and star; no spatially resolved image of the
planet was possible. This data set also contains a time series of
raw clear filter (#1) images of known exoplanet transit microlensing
target MOA-2009-BLG-266 acquired by HRIV on 5-8 October 2009 for EPOCh.

Volume Format
=============
This volume has been formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 2
Interchange Standard for directories and file names as described
in Version 3.7 of the PDS Standards Reference.
File Formats
============
All text documents and other meta information files such as
descriptions, PDS object definitions, and detached PDS labels are
stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line
feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record. This allows
the files to be read by various operating systems.
Volume Contents
===============
Files on this volume are organized into a set of subdirectories below
the top-level directory. The following table shows the general
structure and content of these directories but does not exhaustively
list every file in each directory. In the table, directory names
are surrounded by forward slashes (/), and the top-level of the
volume is indicated by a single forward slash. See the *INFO.TXT
files in each top-level sub-directory for specific information about
the files under that directory.
