• TransitsPlanet crosses line of sight between observer and star and blocks a small amount of light from the star
• Different from occultation or eclipseOccult means to cover over or to hide
• PhotometryMethod of measuring the amount of lightA light meter on a camera is a photometer

• The relative change in brightness (L/L) is equal to the relative areas (Aplanet/Astar)
• To measure 0.01% must get above the Earth’s atmosphere
• Method is robust but you must be patient:Require at least 3 transits, preferably 4 with same
brightness change, duration and temporal separation(the first two establish a possible period, the third confirms it)
Jupiter: 1% area of the Sun (1/100)
Earth or Venus0.01% area of the Sun (1/10,000)
Transit Method - An Example

• Not all planetary orbits are aligned along our line of sight to a star
• Diameter of Sun d* is about 0.01 AU. Diameter of Earth orbit D is 2 AU
• Random probability of detecting a Sun-Earth analog is about 0.5%
• So one needs to look at thousands of stars IF all have an Earth
2) Solid angle of d*/D for all possible pole positions for any given LOS
3) Geometric Transit Probability = d*/D

Gravitational Microlensing Method
The best fit light curve of the MACHO-97-BLG-41 microlensing event. The data consists of 356 MPS R-band observations from the Mt. Stromlo 1.9m telescope, 197 MACHO-R and 194 MACHO-V band observations from the Mt. Stromlo 1.3m telescope, 35 R-band observations from the CTIO 0.9m telescope, and 17 R-band observations from the Wise 1.0m telescope. The MACHO-R, MACHO-V, Wise-R, CTIO-R, and MPS data are plotted in red, blue, green, cyan, and magenta respectively. The tick interval for the inset figures is 1 day.
