• approximate solution to plane-parallel radiative transfer yields linear source function

• line-of-sight surface intensity becomes linear function of mu.

• At glancing angles, tau = 1 corresponds to greater height in the atmosphere.

The  things  that  you  can  directly  measure:  • Transit  dura'on  • Ingress/egress  'me  • Transit  depth  • Mid-­‐transit  'me  • Time  between  successive  transits  

Things  that  you  can  derive  from  these  observables:  • Orbital  period  • Orbital  ephemeris  • Ra'o  of  the  size  of  the  planet  to  the  size  of  the  host  star  (Rp/Rs)  • Impact  parameter,  b  =  a  cos  i  /  Rs        for  e  =  0  

Things  that  you  can  use  these  values  to  determine  with  K  and  e  from  RV,  and  es'mate  of  Ms:  • Ra'o  of  the  size  of  the  semi-­‐major  axis  to  the  size  of  the  host  star  (a/Rs)  • Orbital  inclina'on  • Planet  mass  • a  for  the  orbit  using  Newton’s  version  of  Kepler’s  third  law  • Radius  of  the  star  • Radius  of  the  planet  • Density  of  the  star  • Surface  gravity  of  the  planet

Transit Searches

• Initial transit searches focused on planets already known via RV method

• Later, large surveys (HAT, WASP, CoRoT, Kepler)

Page 23: Transits - Home | Lunar and Planetary Laboratorybarman/ptys568/ptys568_docs/lecture5... · astroseismology and transits to determine obliquities.

Transits with eccentric orbits:

• probability of transit changes with e

• transit time - eclipse time is strong function of e.

• transit symmetry is a function of e

Page 25: Transits - Home | Lunar and Planetary Laboratorybarman/ptys568/ptys568_docs/lecture5... · astroseismology and transits to determine obliquities.

For  planets  with  same  semi-­‐major  axis,  Ptra  increases  for  e  >  0.    Example:    HD80606b  has  e  ~  0.93  and  a  ~  0.5  au.  Ptra  goes  from  ~  1%  to  ~  8%.    ...  this  planet  transits.

Transit  surveys  biased  toward  finding  ecc.  planets.  Easy  to  correct  ....  if  you  know  e.

Could  have  occulta'on  or  transit,  not  always  both.

Geometric Probability is only part of the problem ... Suppose you know nothing about planets, but wantto find them using the transit method. How many starsmust you observe before finding just one?

N(stars) ~ 1/(f x Ptra) ... where f = freq. of planets. If 1 / 100 stars have giant planets at 0.05AU, then observing > 1000 stars might yield one.

Turn it around, observe 100, 000s and you candetermine f .... this is the main idea behind missionslike Kepler and CoRoT.

• observed line profile

• G = rotational broadening kernel; essentially an intensity weighted integral of the projected doppler shift.

• all intensity variations factor in!

Other ways to estimate obliquities:

• Measure Vsin(i) for many stars with transiting planets (Hirano et al. 2014; Morton & Winn, 2014)

• See Van Eylen et al. (2014), Chaplin et al. (2013) for combination of astroseismology and transits to determine obliquities.

• star-spot crossings (e.g. Desert et al. 2011).

TTVs often influenced by stellar binaries and not always planets.Some PCEBs show eclipse TVs and there have been suggestions of planets (Horner et al. 2014) … but not all are dynamically stable, raising doubts about planet nature.
