SCANNING — awaiting transit geometry.
ILLUSTRATIVE MODEL — semi-major axis from Kepler's third law, transit depth = (Rp/R★)², duration from a central-transit chord approximation, habitable-zone bounds from stellar luminosity scaling, equilibrium temperature assumes albedo 0.3. Star and planet sizes/distances in the orbit view are exaggerated for visibility, not physically to-scale — at true scale the planet would be a sub-pixel dot. Not a substitute for pipelines like Kepler/TESS SPOC.
