You are observing a different star which has a normal measured flux of 29.7 photons per second. The brightness of the star also shows regular dips. During each dip, the brightness of the star decreases by 0.38610000000000033 photons per second. Transits repeat every 4.9 days. If the star also has a radius of 4.1x10^8m, a mass of 1.6x10^30 kg and a luminosity of 1.3x10^26 W, how far (in metres) is the planet from the centre of the star?
