Subject: Equation for secondary transit depth? 17th April 2010, 1:10 pm
Anyone have an equation handy for the secondary transit depth? I figure part of it is probably A(Rstar/Rplanet)2 where A is the albedo of the planet, but I'm not sure how to work in the difference in brightness between the two.

Ag= (Fp/F*)/(Rp/a)2.
Fp/F* - depth secondary eclipse a - semi-major axis of the orbit
