The Detectability Of Transit Depth Variations Due To Exoplanetary Oblateness And Spin Precession

Knowledge of an exoplanet's oblateness and obliquity would give clues about its formation and internal structure. In principle, a light curve of a transiting planet bears information about the planet's shape, but previous work has shown that the oblateness-induced signal will be extremely...
