Transiting extrasolar planets have recently been discovered, adding to the total of more than 80 discovered mainly by the Doppler technique. Much can be learned by analyzing the light and radial velocity curves of the exoplanets, and now you can do it for yourself.

You have control of the physical and orbital parameters of the exoplanetary system and can manipulate them to match the observations and break the code! 15 sets of observational data are provided, including the first discovered transiting exoplanet, HD 209458.
