But still, back in the days the errorbars were still large, so it was entirely possible that this was not „real“. With improved stellar radii, this spread became a lot clearer (thanks Gaia 🫶). Also, improved light curves with high cadence to break the degeneracy between impact parameter and radius ratio.

One of the last reasons for the difference could be the relationship between planet size and stellar mass. #exoplanets5
