About this simulation

Orbital teaching models show transit, radial-velocity and astrometric signatures using the source equations. Curves are simulated observations; they are not measurements of a named exoplanet.

What students can explore

  • Compare detection of a planet by its transit and stellar motion.

Learning objectives

  1. 1Compare detection of a planet by its transit and stellar motion.
