L01: deep-verification fixes (2 source-fidelity corrections)
Verified all 9 cited papers with PDFs against the Charbonneau 2000, Mayor & Queloz 1995, Wolszczan & Frail 1992, Bryson 2021, Fulton 2017, Greene 2023, ALMA Partnership 2015, Howell & Pappalardo 2020, and Farley 2022 sources. Two corrections from the pass: * HD 209458 b transit-depth caption: the figure caption stated 'about 1.7%' but the best-fit transit model from Charbonneau 2000 (Rp = 1.27 RJup, R* = 1.1 Rsun) gives a depth of (Rp/Rs)^2 = 1.41%. The 1.7% reading came from raw-data scatter rather than the model curve, and was internally inconsistent with the formula already in the same caption. * JWST mission-table entry: changed start year from '2022-' to '2021-' to agree with the two other places in the lecture (lines 154 and 444) that correctly state the December 2021 launch date. Per-paper summaries written to ~/git/references/paper-summaries/L01/. Findings file at ~/.claude/plans/ips_lecture_verification/L01_findings.md. Adversarial review at ~/.claude/plans/ips_lecture_verification/L01_adversarial.md. 3 unverifiable claim clusters (Sagan1994 quote, IAU2006 criteria text, NASAFactSheet table values) flagged for manual cross-check by the user.

Discovery transit of HD 209458 b, the first transiting exoplanet ever detected. The relative stellar flux drops by about 1.7% as the planet crosses the disk of its host star, recovering symmetrically afterwards. The depth gives the planet-to-star radius ratio via $\Delta F / F \approx (R_p / R_\star)^2$, and the duration constrains the orbital geometry. Credit: {cite:t}`Charbonneau2000`.

Today, planetary science integrates astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology, and atmospheric science. It spans scales from dust grains in protoplanetary disks to the demographics of planetary systems across the Galaxy.
