Exoplanet Transit: Light-Curve Photometry (2D)

2D transit-method exoplanet detector: real photometric geometry (ΔF/F = (Rp/Rstar)²), Kepler's third law sets the orbit, and a live light curve shows the dip shrink, widen or vanish as you drag planet radius, star radius, orbital period, stellar mass and inclination.

This 2D companion trades the 3D scene's reinforcement-learning-agent framing for the real transit-detection physics behind it: a planet's true sky-projected path around its star is computed from Kepler's third law and orbital inclination, the exact circle-overlap area drives a live brightness curve, and five real parameters — planet radius, star radius, stellar mass, orbital period and inclination — visibly and correctly reshape the transit's depth, width, and whether it happens at all, exactly as it does for Kepler and TESS.

⚙ Under the hood

2D transit-method exoplanet detector: Kepler's third law fixes the orbit from period and stellar mass, the sky-projected planet position and exact circle-overlap (lens) formula give the true light curve, and dragging inclination past the transit threshold makes the dip vanish entirely.
