Bayesian priors for the eccentricity of transiting planets

Planets on eccentric orbits have a higher geometric probability of transiting their host star. By application of Bayes’ theorem, we reverse this logic to show that the eccentricity distribution of transiting planets is positively biased. Adopting the flexible Beta distribution as the underlying prio...
