The spacecraft is dedicated to the discovery of extrasolar planets by the [[transit method]] from [[solar orbit]]. In April 2009 the project released the [[First light (astronomy)|first light]] images from the spacecraft, and TrES-2b was one of two objects highlighted in these images. Although TrES-2b is not the only known exoplanet in the field of view of this spacecraft it is the only one identified in the first light images.

In addition to detecting the planet directly, the planet was also detected by analysis of the star brightness caused by the gravitational tug of TrES-2b by shape distortion of the host star and by light variations due to Doppler beaming.<ref>[https://arxiv.org/abs/1210.4592 Photometrically derived masses and radii of the planet and star in the TrES-2 system]: Thomas Barclay, Daniel Huber, Jason F.

Thompson</ref> ===Physical characteristics=== ====Albedo==== [[File:Jkv.TrES-2b.png|200px|thumb|left| An artist's impression of TrES-2b]]The first important result from the Kepler Mission about TrES-2b is an extremely low [[geometric albedo]] measured in 2011, making it the darkest known exoplanet.<ref name=darkest/> If the entire day–night contrast were due to geometric albedo, it would be 2.53%, but modeling suggests that much of this is [[Black body|dayside emission]] and the true albedo is much lower. It is estimated to be less than 1% and for best-fit model it is about 0.04%. This makes TrES-2b the darkest known exoplanet, reflecting less light than coal or black acrylic paint.<ref name=darkest_news/> It is not clear why the planet is so dark. One reason could be an absence of reflective clouds such as those which make Jupiter so bright, due to TrES-2b's proximity to its parent star and the consequent high temperature. Another reason could be the presence in the atmosphere of light-absorbing chemicals such as vaporized sodium, potassium, or gaseous titanium oxide;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.astronomynow.com/news/n1108/11exo/|title=Exoplanet blacker than coal|last=Baldwin|first=Emily|work=Astronomy Now|date=2011-08-11|access-date=2011-08-12|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110918035040/http://www.astronomynow.com/news/n1108/11exo/|archive-date=2011-09-18}}</ref> however, Kipping and Spiegel excluded heavy [[Titanium(II) oxide|oxides of titanium]] and [[Vanadium(II) oxide|vanadium]] from their models, as it seems unrealistic that condensed, heavy compounds be present in the upper atmosphere. They also note that in general, hot Jupiters are expected to be dark, because "absorption due to the broad wings of the sodium and potassium D lines is thought to dominate their visible spectra", and, apart from that of [[Kepler-7b]] ({{val|38|12|s=%}}), albedo measurements for hot Jupiters have generally given only upper limits.<ref name=darkest/> ====Temperature==== The planet is likely to be tidally locked to the parent star.
