Essay title
Exoplanet transit depth and the uniform-disc assumption
Research question
For a dark planet with radius ratio 0.10, how does quadratic limb darkening with coefficients u1 = 0.40 and u2 = 0.25 alter the radius ratio inferred from mid-transit depth using a uniform stellar disc over impact parameters 0 to 0.90?
