Query: Determination of the size, mass, and density of "exomoons" from
  photometric transit timing variations   Precise photometric measurements of the upcoming space missions allow the
size, mass, and density of satellites of exoplanets to be determined. Here we
present such an analysis using the photometric transit timing variation
($TTV_p$). We examined the light curve effects of both the transiting planet
and its satellite. We define the photometric central time of the transit that
is equivalent to the transit of a fixed photocenter. This point orbits the
barycenter, and leads to the photometric transit timing variations. The exact
value of $TTV_p$ depends on the ratio of the density, the mass, and the size of
the satellite and the planet. Since two of those parameters are independent, a
reliable estimation of the density ratio leads to an estimation of the size and
the mass of the exomoon. Upper estimations of the parameters are possible in
the case when an upper limit of $TTV_p$ is known. In case the density ratio
cannot be estimated reliably, we propose an approximation with assuming equal
densities. The presented photocenter $TTV_p$ analysis predicts the size of the
satellite better than the mass. We simulated transits of the Earth-Moon system
in front of the Sun. The estimated size and mass of the Moon are 0.020
Earth-mass and 0.274 Earth-size if equal densities are assumed. This result is
comparable to the real values within a factor of 2. If we include the real
density ratio (about 0.6), the results are 0.010 Earth-Mass and 0.253
Earth-size, which agree with the real values within 20%.
