XO Project
The XO Project is an international team of amateur and professional astronomers tasked with identifying extrasolar planets. They are led by Peter McCullough of the Space Telescope Science Institute.〔(Astronomers Catch Planet By Unusual Means, ''Space Daily'' )〕 It is primarily funded by NASA's Origins Program and the Director's Discretionary Fund of the Space Telescope Science Institute.〔(XO-3b: Supersized planet or oasis in the 'brown dwarf desert'?, ''EurekAlert!'' )〕〔(Astronomers Use Innovative Technique to Find Extrasolar Planet, ''HubbleSite'' )〕
==Duties==

Preliminary identification of possible star candidates starts at the Haleakala telescope in Hawaii by a team of professional astronomers. Once they identify a star that dims slightly from time to time, the information is forwarded to a team of amateur astronomers who then investigate for additional evidence suggesting this dimming is caused by a transiting planet. Once enough data is collected, it is forwarded to the University of Texas McDonald Observatory to confirm the presence of a transiting planet by a second team of professional astronomers.〔
