Effect of contaminating light on fitted impact parameter. If the dilution is not accounted for, the best-fit model (based on the minimum ﹩{\chi }^{2}﹩) will have a larger impact parameter to compensate for the shallower transit depth. The black dots denote the minimum ﹩{\chi }^{2}﹩ values, indicative of the shift in impact parameter.
