Abstract
► We simulate atmospheric transmission measurements with a Monte Carlo model. ► Forward-scattered light can change exoplanet transit depths significantly. ► Retrievals from stellar/solar occultations can be in error by several tens of percent. ► A simplified slab model can often give a good idea of the forward-scattering.
