Planetary Radius as a Regime-Dependent Relational Quantity: Evidence for a Paradigm Defect in Exoplanet Radius Measurement——A Cross-Disciplinary Empirical Test in Astronomy Based on Factor Hierarchy Theory and the Four-Test Method

Abstract Core Conclusions: (1) Transit depth is not an intrinsic property of a planet, but a “relational quantity” arising from the coupling of the planet, the stellar radiation field, and the detector response. (2) The discovery facility is a proxy regime factor for the stellar radiation field—the true regime factors are stellar ...
