Detailed Bayesian Analysis of the CoRoT-7 Lightcurve
With a mass of 7.4 Earth masses and radius of 1.6 Earth radii, CoRoT-7b is among the smallest transiting planets found to date. Due to its small size, the transit signal is very shallow, which makes the estimation of the planetary parameters from the light curve challenging. We carry out a Bayesian analysis of the CoRoT-7b lightcurve using a
