EXOPLANET TRANSIT
Abstract
This study uses data from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to encounter planets using the existing transit survey method. By analysing the light flux data recorded by TESS over time and concentrating on the detailed profiles of individual transits, we measure both the frequency and duration of exoplanet transits. These measurements enable more precise estimates of exoplanet radii and the inclination angle of the observed transit from Earth. By observing data sets that span over a few years we can better analyse the path these planets are taking. This study observes Rho Coronae Borealis. It is a G0V class star and is thought to have four current exoplanets. We will observe one such planet TIC 458494003, which is the third planet from the star. This study will measure the angle of inclination and orbital period of the planet.
