What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to detect and analyse exoplanet transits from actual space mission data. You will learn to retrieve data from key archives, download and preprocess light curves, manage time formats, detrend and normalise flux levels, perform BLS searches, derive transit parameters, model light curves to determine planetary radii, fetch stellar data from catalogues, and deliver fully documented, reproducible findings with solid scientific explanations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Exoplanet transit detection: apply BLS and phase-folding to real light curves.
- High-precision light-curve cleaning: detrend, de-noise, and normalize space data fast.
- Planet radius estimation: fit transit models and propagate stellar and depth errors.
- Archive mining expertise: pull Kepler/TESS data and stellar catalogs via MAST and APIs.
- Reproducible astrophysics workflows: document data, code, and uncertainties clearly.
