Photometric transit depth delta = (R_p / R_star)^2 from projected disk-area ratio

Layer 1 — Physicsin the exoplanets subtree

Transit photometry framework (Henry et al 2000 ApJ 529, L41; Charbonneau et al 2000 ApJ 529, L45; Mandel-Agol 2002 ApJ 580, L171). Setup: when an exoplanet of radius R_p crosses in front of its host star of radius R_star (impact parameter…
