In this lab, we will use Transit Light Curves and Radial Velocity Curves to determine the composition of 5 exoplanets. In the first part of this lab, we will determine the color and lifetime of the 5 stars that host the 5 exoplanets we are considering. In the next part of this lab, we will use Transit Light Curves and Radial Velocity Curves to determine the mass of the 5 exoplanets we are considering. In the following part of this lab, we will use Transit Light Curves to determine the volume of the 5 exoplanets we are considering. In the last part of this lab, we will use the values of the mass and the volume to determine the density of each exoplanet. From the density of each exoplanet, we will be able to determine the composition of each exoplanet.
