Summary[edit]
DescriptionCoRoT-1.jpg |
English: This is an artist’s impression of a Jupiter-sized planet passing in front of its parent star.
Such events are called transits. When the planet transits the star, the star’s apparent brightness drops by a few percent for a short period. Through this technique, astronomers can search for planets across the galaxy by measuring periodic changes in a star’s luminosity. The first class of exoplanets found by this technique are the so-called “hot Jupiters,” which are so close to their stars they complete an orbit within days, or even hours |
