Homework 3

1) The planet is 0.569 times Jupiter's radius and 6.25 times Earth's radius

2) The star and its planet are 57.278 AU apart.

3) The planet has a 0.004% chance of transiting.

4) The planet's transit time, with an orbital period of 613.33 years, would be 2.897 years.

5) The planet's transit depth is 1.3% of the star. This would be visible from space, but not from Earth.

6) As in 4), the orbital period would be 613.33 years.

7) Assuming the planet crosses the visual center of the star, 153.33 years in front and 459.9975 years behind.

8) The planet is roughly 1.79kg, which is 3.09 times Earth's mass and 0.0094 times Jupiter's mass.
