- A graph of the entire light curve, labeling the transits of each planet you believe exists. If there are more than three transits visible for a given planet, label at least three of them. If there are three or fewer, label as many as you can identify. Make sure to label the transits of each planet with a different symbol or colour. Use the planet naming conventions described under “Crucial Formatting Instructions” below. The following graph gives an example of what this might look like for a light curve with four transiting planets:

- Close-up graphs of the primary transit of each planet you have identified, formatted as shown here. Your graphs must show the detailed shape of the transit for each planet. You will have to expand the time axis to show more detail. Each graph should be labeled using the naming conventions described under “Crucial Formatting Instructions” below.

- A table showing the properties of the planets that you are claiming exist. An example of this table is shown below. For each planet, you must list:
Its orbital period in years
Its radius in Earth radii (Be careful to express the radius, not the diameter.)
A few words describing the type of planet (see below). - Answers to the following questions:
What properties of these planets can you derive from the information given, other than their orbital periods and radii?
What evidence supports your claim about the type of each planet? Cite evidence from your light curve as well as independent research to support your claim.
