What will I learn?
This course provides practical skills for detecting and characterising exoplanet transits with real space data. You will learn to access key archives, download and clean light curves, manage time systems, detrend and normalise flux, perform BLS searches, extract transit parameters, model light curves for planetary radii, retrieve stellar properties from catalogues, and deliver reproducible results with robust scientific justification.
