Detection of Exoplanets based on the Transit Method

Exoplanets are planets orbiting a star other than the Sun. These exoplanets may exist in many different forms, such as a hot Jupiter and super earth. Detecting is the first step to further studying the properties of these exoplanets. In this paper, based on data of star Qatar-1 gathered from July 22nd 2022, a light flux curve is developed during the period of 04:28 - 07:01 UTC through which the star is observed. The presence of an exoplanet, presumably Qatar-1b, is revealed in the analyzing results of the collected data, showing the validity of the transit approach for exoplanet detection. By using this approach, exoplanets planets can be discovered for further research in regards to potentially habitable and/or resource-rich exoplanets.
