| Description | We present new photometric observations of four complete transits of extrasolar planet Wasp-10b. We determine the following system parameters: planet to star radius ratio, star radius to semimajor axis ratio, inclination and the radius of the extrasolar planet. Our estimate of the planet radius is significantly higher (by about 12 percent) than the most recent value of Johnson et al. (2009). |
