Finding The Size of KIC 7848638 b (APH00015me.01)

  • ProtoJeb21 by ProtoJeb21

    I found what appears to be a planet in Quarter 3-2 of the light curve of APH00015me, or KIC 7848638. It is a rather small object orbiting every 12.2 days. The three transits dip the star's brightness by 0.14%, and the size of KIC 7848638 is 0.83 solar radii. I need help figuring out the exact way to use the data to find this planet's radius.

    Never mind, I figured it out. I also found what appear to be four other transiting planets with orbital periods of 15.5, 37, 201, and 442 days.
