What will I learn?
This Astrophysics Data Analysis 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 prepare light curves, manage time formats, adjust and standardise flux levels, perform BLS searches, determine transit details, model light curves to calculate planet sizes, fetch star data from catalogues, and deliver well-documented, repeatable 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.
