While doing a transit study, you find an exoplanet around a nearby Sun-like star. The time between transits is P= 32days. During a transit, the time from first to second contact is t2−t1= 30minutes, and the time from fist to third contact is t3−t1= 5hours. The depth of the transit is δF/F= 0.01. During follow-up radial velocity measurements of the star, you find that its peak radial velocity is vr= 65m s−1. What is the radius of the planet? What is the mass of the planet?
