The shape of the planet as it transits in front of a star also changes the shape of the transit, or dip in brightness of the star. A planet that is ellipsoid in shape is likely stretched by strong tidal forces and tidally locked. As this pass in front of the star its cross sectional area also changes, unlike a spherical planet. By subtracting models of spherical and ellipsoid transits we can look for the differences and it is this difference that can identify the planets shape. We finish by looking at a real example of a non-spherical planet, WASP-103b. Originally discovered 2014 by the WASP telescope, Wasp - 103b is a large close in exoplanet (Hot Jupiter). Recent follow-up observations have revealed that the transit shape better matches an ellipsoid shape than a spherical one. The elongated shape is likely the result of strong tides due to being very close to the star. The planet is also a Ultra Short Period Exoplanet as it has an orbital period of less than one day.
