Key Equations

$$R_{\text{eff}}(\lambda) = R_p + nH\ln\left(\frac{\sigma(\lambda) P_0}{mg}\sqrt{\frac{2\pi R_p}{H}}\right)$$
$$\frac{F_p(\lambda)}{F_\star(\lambda)} = \left(\frac{R_p}{R_\star}\right)^2 \frac{B_\lambda(T_{\text{day}})}{B_\lambda(T_\star)}$$
$$T_{\text{sub}} = T_\star\sqrt{\frac{R_\star}{a}} \left(\frac{1-A_B}{f}\right)^{1/4}$$
$$S_{\text{eff}} = S_{\text{eff},\odot} + aT_\star + bT_\star^2 + cT_\star^3 + dT_\star^4$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
