Estimation of the Total Mass of 10 Exoplanets and their Host Stars Based on the Primary Transit Method

TL;DR

This paper estimates the total mass of ten exoplanets and their host stars using photometric data and the primary transit method, providing insights into their physical properties and stellar classification.

Contribution

It introduces a methodology combining photometric observations, data reduction, and software tools to determine exoplanet and host star masses from transit data.

Findings

Mass estimates for 10 exoplanets and their host stars

Placement of host stars on the H-R diagram

Validation of the primary transit method for mass estimation

Abstract

In this study, ten exoplanets were studied. Their photometric observations were obtained from the ETD. After performing the data reduction steps, their parameters were obtained through Exofast online software. Then the total mass of the exoplanets and the host stars were obtained through a software that was mentioned in this study. The location of the host stars in this study was also plotted in the H-R diagram.
