Transit High-Ratio Square Three-Row Scan

Three exact rows square larger transit radius ratios. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

A larger radius ratio still squares to depth

The depth label is derived from the displayed radius ratio, so large ratio changes are still squared rather than added.

depth=(12)2=14\text{depth}=\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{4}
Transit high-ratio row oneThe planet-to-star radius ratio is squared.radiusRatio=1/2depth=1/4

A larger radius ratio still squares to depth

The depth label is derived from the displayed radius ratio, so large ratio changes are still squared rather than added.

depth=(23)2=49\text{depth}=\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{2}=\frac{4}{9}
Transit high-ratio row twoThe planet-to-star radius ratio is squared.radiusRatio=2/3depth=4/9

A larger radius ratio still squares to depth

The depth label is derived from the displayed radius ratio, so large ratio changes are still squared rather than added.

depth=(34)2=916\text{depth}=\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{2}=\frac{9}{16}
Transit high-ratio row threeThe planet-to-star radius ratio is squared.radiusRatio=3/4depth=9/16
