What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in spotting and analysing exoplanet transits with actual space telescope data. Master accessing key data archives, downloading and preparing light curves, managing time formats, cleaning and standardising flux data, performing BLS searches, deriving transit details, modelling light curves to find planet sizes, retrieving star info from databases, and delivering well-documented, repeatable results with solid scientific explanations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Spot exoplanet transits: use BLS and phase-folding on genuine light curves.
- Clean light curves precisely: remove trends, noise, and normalise space data swiftly.
- Estimate planet radii: model transits and account for star and depth uncertainties.
- Mine data archives: fetch Kepler/TESS data and star catalogues via MAST and APIs.
- Build reproducible workflows: clearly document data, code, and error margins.
