We observed 4 planetary transits of HD 209458 with the STIS spectrograph on HST, and generated a photometric time series with extremely rapid cadence and high precision. We use these data to better constrain the orbital, stellar, and planetary parameters, and to search for circumplanetary rings and planetary satellites.
