  Note:The XO Project is a photometric search for Jovian planets    transiting very bright stars.    The stars proposed typically will have GSC or 2MASS    (but not HR, HD, or BD) designations, and a shorter designation    than the GSC or 2MASS designation is useful.    The XO project is described in 2005PASP..117..783M.
