List of transiting exoplanets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the list of 232 transiting extrasolar planets sorted by orbital periods. All the transiting planets have true masses, radii and most have known inclinations. Radius is determined by how much the star dims during the transit and inclination is determined from Rossiter–McLaughlin effect. True mass is determined by the minimum mass determined from radial velocity observations divided by the sine of inclination.

The first known planet to be discovered with the transit method was OGLE-TR-56b. The first planetary transit observed (by already known exoplanet) was caused by HD 209458 b. The most massive transiting exoplanet is KELT-1b which masses 27.23 MJ (making it a brown dwarf) while the least massive is Kepler-42d which masses less than 0.003 MJ or 0.9 M
