About this document

Exo-Solar Planet Transit Simulation Guide by joseph.mekhamer is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) The document provides instructions for a student lab using a simulator to model exoplanet transits. The simulator displays the star system, light curve during transit, and allows adjusting star, planet, and orbit parameters. 2) Increasing planet radius, decreasing orbital distance, or decreasing star size would deepen and lengthen transits. Higher orbital inclinations would shorten transits. 3) An Earth-sized planet could not be detected from ground-based telescopes due to noise, but Kepler
