Abstract:

Exoplanet transit timing variation is a method to find exoplanets. To understand this method better, I wrote a computer program in python to simulate the transit of exoplanets. I use my program to simulate the transit timing variation observed in the Kepler-19 system. I make a simple simulation of Kepler-19 system, and this simulation shows that the variation in transit timing due to other planets is very obvious for Kepler-19b, the transiting planet, which means the transit timing variation method is very useful for finding exoplanet in Kepler-19 system. The whole paper is an illustration for that. The simulation I make is relatively simple but it still corresponds to the law of TTV, and because of its simplicity, it can help more people understand.
