The total duration T14​ runs from first to fourth contact; the fully superimposed duration T23​ runs from second to third contact. Circular-orbit formulas contain 1+k for the former and 1−k for the latter. Confusing the two changes inferred impact parameter, even if the period and transit depth are unchanged.
