Of all the methods used for the detection of extra-solar planets, the
radial velocity technique is still the dominant source of extra-solar
planet discoveries. Furthermore, many of the planets discovered are hot
Jupiters in 3-5 day orbits with ~10% chance of transiting their parent
star. Thus many of the hot Jupiters discovered via radial velocity surveys
are expected to also exhibit a photometric transit signature.
I will be presenting simulations of the expected results from a generic
multi-object survey based on calculated noise models and sensitivity for
the instrument and the known distribution of exoplanetary system
parameters. Code has been developed for automatically sifting and fitting
the planet candidates produced by the survey to allow for fast follow-up
observations to be conducted. Considering the expected high number of hot
Jupiters from the survey, a transit ephemeris is automatically calculated
by the radial velocity code for each candidate and updated when new data
becomes available. Early photometric follow-up of planet candidates during
the predicted transit windows will indicate whether or not the planet's
orbit is favourably inclined for transits to be visible. The techniques
presented here may be applied to a wide range of radial velocity planet
surveys.
