Exo- outside, outer, out of Ayyo wut’s an exoplanet http://img11.deviantart.net/72bc/i/2013/215/e/1/exoplanets_2_by_melissasoup-d6gk0xw.png
3
Ayyo why should I care ‘bout ‘em http://orig09.deviantart.net/17b2/f/2010/277/e/8/earth_destruction_by_kallestar23-d301wgd.jpg
4
Direct imaging Radial velocity Astrometry Microlensing Ayyo so how we gonna’ find dem’ Transit
5
Ayyo so how dat transit method work tho’ As the planet crosses the star, a dip in brightness can be observed http://sites.psu.edu/tgg119/wp-content/uploads/sites/661/2013/01/OSNanimkurzloop.gif
6
Main goal: Extrapolate the radius of the planet. Ayyo, wut chu’ tryna’ do tho’ Other goal: Determine other properties of star and planet and how they affect the curve
7
Meet TrES-3B
8
Ayyo, how dat work tho’
9
Where cho’ data at
10
How chu’ calculate radius tho’ Fraction of light blocked =
11
More forms of data and stuff
12
After calculations. Radius = TrES-3b
13

14
Important variables Radius of planet Radius of Star Mass of Star Semi-major Axis System Inclination Dem’ Secondary Objectives
15
Transit method works to determine the radius of the planet From that, a great deal of other properties can be inferred. Dat Conclusion tho’
