SuperWASP (Wide Angle Search for Planets) is an exoplanet detection program comprised of a consortium of eight academic institutions. It consists of two robotic observatories that operate continuously throughout the year, allowing coverage of both hemispheres of the sky. The observatories each consist of eight wide-angle cameras that simultaneously monitor the sky for planetary transit events. 


The eight cameras allow the monitoring of millions of stars simultaneously, enabling the detection of rare transit events. SuperWASP includes nearly 18 million WASP time series, or roughly 17 terabytes (TB) of data.


Peranso makes use of data (under DOI 10.26133/NEA9) from the first public release of the WASP data (Butters et al. 2010) as provided by the WASP consortium and services at the NASA Exoplanet Archive, which is operated by the California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under the Exoplanet Exploration Program.
