Course details
• Astronomical Unit (AU): The average distance between the Earth and the Sun, a fundamental unit for measuring distances within star systems and crucial for understanding exoplanet orbits.
• Exoplanet Orbital Period: The time it takes an exoplanet to complete one revolution around its star. This is essential for applying Kepler's Third Law.
• Semi-major Axis: Half of the longest diameter of an exoplanet's elliptical orbit; directly related to orbital period via Kepler's Third Law.
• Kepler's Third Law Calculator: A digital tool enabling quick calculation of orbital parameters using Kepler's Third Law, essential for data analysis on the go.
• Stellar Mass (Solar Masses): The mass of a star expressed relative to the Sun's mass. This is a key input for Kepler's Third Law calculations and understanding exoplanet orbits.
• Exoplanet Mass (Jupiter Masses or Earth Masses): The mass of an exoplanet expressed relative to Jupiter's or Earth's mass, important for characterizing the planet and its orbit.
• Orbital Eccentricity: A measure of how elliptical an exoplanet's orbit is, ranging from 0 (circular) to 1 (parabolic). Understanding orbital shape is crucial in applying Kepler's Laws.
• Transit Timing Variations (TTVs): Subtle variations in the timing of exoplanet transits, often used to detect additional planets in the system.
