Planetary Parameters

Planetary Parameter Calculations v. 1.0

WHAT IS IT?

I made these programs to calculate some planetary parameters for my research and it calculates error bars as well. You’ll be able to derive:

Rp/R*

Mass

Density

Magnetic Field (no error bars)

log(g) surface gravity

Equilibrium Temperature

Safronov Number

Vidotto Timing Difference between optical and near-uv transits (with and without a Bp/B* ratio)
