Abstract
We present new UBV(RI)C photometry of 22 stars that host transiting planets, 19 of which
were discovered by the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) survey. We use these data
together with Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) JHKS photometry to estimate the effective
temperature of these stars using the infrared flux method. We find that the effective temperature
estimates for stars discovered by the WASP survey based on the analysis of spectra are reliable
to better than their quoted uncertainties.
