Abstract
This report presents a novel model that utilizes the transit method to calculate the ratios between stars and exoplanets. The WASP-12 system data, obtained from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is employed for analysis. The model, implemented in Python, incorporates the hyperbolic tangent function to process data, generate graphs, and determine the best-fit line. By leveraging the TESS Mission data, this model offers a potentially more precise approach to understanding exoplanets. The results reveal a radius ratio of 0.124 between the star and its companion exoplanet in the WASP-12 system, with a maximum uncertainty of 0.0965. To assess accuracy, comparisons are made with existing methodologies, and the report discusses the models limitations and potential for further development. Through these comparisons, the model demonstrates its efficacy in accurately estimating star-exoplanet ratios using the transit method. The findings open avenues for refining the model and expanding its applications within the field of exoplanet research. By improving our understanding of these ratios, we can deepen our knowledge of exoplanetary systems and their characteristics.
