摘要：Motivated by the unsettled conclusion on whether there are any transit timing variations (TTVs) for the exoplanet Qatar-1b, 10 new transit light curves are presented and a TTV analysis with a baseline of 1400 epochs is performed. Because the linear model provides a good fit with a reduced chi-square of and the false-alarm probabilities of the possible TTV frequencies are as large as 35%, our results are consistent with a null-TTV model. Nevertheless, a new ephemeris with a reference time of T0 = 2455647.63360 ± 0.00008 (BJD) and a period of P = 1.4200236 ± 0.0000001 (day) is obtained. In addition, the updated orbital semimajor axis and planetary radius in units of stellar radius are provided, and the lower limit of the modified stellar tidal quality factor is also determined.
