Exoplanet has become one of the most popular research subjects in astronomy. This study analyzes light curve data from the K2 mission of the Kepler space telescope and measure the properties of two exoplanets, HAT-P-56 b and HATS-36 b. With the transit method, the radii are obtained, orbital periods and semi-major axes of these two exoplanets. For HAT-P-56 b, the period is , the radius is and the semi-major axis is . For HATS-36 b, the period is , the radius is and the semi-major axis is . Compared to previous studies, it is found that radii and semi-major axes measured in this paper are consistent with their results, whereas the calculated orbital period is a bit bigger. In addition, the large radii and short orbital periods suggest that both exoplanets are Hot Jupiters. These results shed light on the exploring of the exoplanets around the two host stars, HAT-P-56 and HATS-36.
