Test of CCD Precision Limits for Differential Photometry
TL;DR: In this article, a front-illuminated CCD can provide differential-photometric measurements with reproducible precision approaching one part in 10(exp 5 ) in a controlled laboratory environment.

TL;DR: FRESIP (FRequency of Earth-Sized Inner Planets) is a mission designed to detect and characterize Earth-sizes planets around solar-like stars as discussed by the authors, where the sizes of the planets are determined by the decrease in light from a star that occurs during planetary transits, while the orbital period is determined from the repeatability of the transits.

TL;DR: In this article, a photometric satellite that uses a wide field-of-view telescope and a large detector array to simultaneously monitor 5000 target stars should detect 50 planetary systems and provide statistically significant estimates of the distributions of planetary size, orbital radius, coplanarity, and the frequency of planetary systems that have Earth-sized planets in inner orbits.
