What will I learn?
Acquire practical skills to detect and characterise exoplanet transits with real space-mission data. Master accessing archives, downloading and cleaning light curves, managing time systems, detrending and normalising flux, conducting BLS searches, extracting transit parameters, modelling light curves for planetary radii, retrieving stellar properties from catalogues, and delivering fully documented, reproducible results with sound scientific reasoning.
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.
