Planetary transit variables

ID: planetary-transit-variables

"Planetary transit variables" typically refer to variable stars that exhibit periodic changes in brightness due to the transit of planets in front of them. This concept is primarily associated with the discovery of exoplanets through the transit method, which is a key technique used in astronomy to identify planets that pass in front of their host stars, causing a temporary dimming of the star's light.
