What will I learn?
This course provides practical skills for detecting and characterizing exoplanet transits with real space-mission data. You will learn to access key archives, download and clean light curves, manage time systems, detrend and normalize flux, perform BLS searches, extract transit parameters, model light curves to derive planetary radii, retrieve stellar properties from catalogs, and produce fully documented, reproducible results backed by solid 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.
