We report on the BVRI multi-band follow-up photometry of the transitingextrasolar planet HD 189733b. We revise the transit parameters and findplanetary radius RP = 1.154+/- 0.032RJ and inclination i_P = 85.79+/-0.24deg.The new density (~ 1g cm-3) is significantly higher than the former estimate (~0.75g cm-3); this shows that from the current sample of 9 transiting planets,only HD 209458 (and possibly OGLE-10b) have anomalously large radii and lowdensities. We note that due to the proximity of the parent star, HD 189733bcurrently has one of the most precise radius determinations among extrasolarplanets. We calculate new ephemerides: P = 2.218573+/-0.000020 days, T0 =2453629.39420+/-0.00024 (HJD), and estimate the timing offsets of the 11distinct transits with respect to the predictions of a constant orbital period,which can be used to reveal the presence of additional planets in the system.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, submitted to Ap
