Extra Solar Planets Question and Answer

Image
Drag the phase slider left and right to move the planet into and out of transit mode. The normalized flux (relative amount of star light reaching an observer on Earth) when the planet is off to the side (not transiting) is _________ while the normalized flux when the planet is transiting is __________. (Hint: examine the plot at the top of the applet while you move the phase slider. The number you are looking for is on the left of the plot.) 1.000, 0.990 Now, decrease the planet size by sliding the Planet Properties ‘radius’ slider to the left until it is one-tenth (0.100) the radius of Jupiter. For this configuration, the normalized flux (relative amount of star light reaching an observer on Earth) when the planet is off to he side (not transiting) is ________ while the normalized flux when the planet is transiting is __________. 1.00000, 0.99990 Referring to the two questions above, the transit detection method relies on the difference between the flux when the pl...
