Eclipse models with and without accounting for the oblateness of the host star. The parameters used in this example are the ones reported in Lendl et al. (2020) except for the stellar rotation speed (increased by a factor of 2 to enhance the effect of rotation), the projected orbital obliquity (set to 40deg), and the orbital inclination (set to 93deg). The left panel shows the light curves normalised by the out-of-eclipse flux for the same system orientation with an oblate stellar disc (solid black line) and a spherical star (orange dashed line). On the right we show a projected view of the system during the eclipse event. The black ellipse and the orange dashed circle show the limb of the star in both cases with the same colour code. The path of the planet is represented by the straight black line and arrows, with the planet being to scale (small black disc).
