Searching for transiting planets requires highly precise brightness measurements. The Kepler light curve of HAT-P-7 shows three very convincing transits - the large dips highlighted with red …

2012年6月4日 · Transit data are rich with information. By measuring the depth of the dip in brightness and knowing the size of the star, scientists can determine the size or radius of the …

2024年12月16日 · KELT surveys transiting exoplanets around bright stars. We have > 6 million light curves spanning the northern and southern hemispheres.

2005年4月19日 · We can make a plot called a light curve with the brightness of the star versus time. Using this plot, we can see what percentage of the star's light the planet blocks and how …

In this animation, the green line being drawn below the planet and star is called the "light curve." The light curve is a graph of the brightness of the star over time, and is the measurement …

2012年6月5日 · Transit data are rich with information. By measuring the depth of the dip in brightness and knowing the size of the star, scientists can determine the size or radius of the …

Know how to use the Lightkurve BoxLeastSquaresPeriodogram to identify a transiting planet. Be able to estimate the period, epoch, and duration of the transit. Be able to plot the phase-folded …

When exoplanets pass in front of their host star (as seen from Earth), a portion of the start light is blocked out and a decrease in the photon flux is measured. Measuring the change in flux over …

2011年2月3日 · The transit light curve gives an astronomer a wealth of information about the transiting planet as well as the star. It is only for transiting exoplanets that astronomers have …

The transit light curve gives astronomer a wealth of information about the transiting planet as well as the star. It is only for transiting exoplanets that astronomers have been able to get direct …
