Geometric transit probabilities (Ptra,geo, Equation (3)) for SIMP 0136+0933, Jupiter, and TRAPPIST-1, assuming random system inclinations, and SIMP 0136+0933 with a measured inclination (assuming spin–orbit alignment). Over this host-mass range, transit probabilities are generally higher for lower-mass hosts. When the inclination constraint for SIMP 0136+0933 is included, the probabilities increase further, reaching 25%–60% for orbital periods of 10–30 hr, indicating that a substantial fraction of such systems would permit observable transits of short-period satellites. The reference semimajor-axis values correspond to the host mass of SIMP 0136+0933.
