Astrophysics Data Analysis Course
This course equips you with expert skills in astrophysics data analysis. You will access public data archives, clean and process light curves, detect and model exoplanet transits, calculate planet radii, and analyse stellar effects using professional tools and techniques suited for physicists and researchers aiming for precise, reproducible science.

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 normalising flux data, performing BLS transit searches, deriving transit details, modelling light curves to get planet sizes, fetching star info from databases, and delivering well-documented, repeatable results with solid scientific explanations.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Detect exoplanet transits by applying BLS and phase-folding on real light curves.
- Clean high-precision light curves by quickly detrending, denoising, and normalising space data.
- Estimate planet radii through transit model fitting and error propagation from stellar data.
- Expertly mine archives to retrieve Kepler/TESS data and stellar info using MAST and APIs.
- Build reproducible workflows by clearly documenting data, code, and uncertainties in astrophysics.
