What will I learn?
This practical Astronomer Training course teaches selecting stellar targets, estimating planetary parameters, planning observing runs and exposure times, handling time standards, computing O–C diagrams, estimating noise and detection confidence, designing tables and figures, plus best practices for data sharing, documenting limitations, and proposing follow-up work.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Exoplanet target selection: select best stars and planets for efficient transit observations.
- Observatory planning: forecast visibility, airmass, and twilight for high-quality data.
- Exposure and cadence design: optimise signal-to-noise ratio, filters, and baselines for precise light curves.
- Noise and SNR analysis: measure scintillation, photon noise, and transit depth accurately.
- Transit timing analysis: improve periods, create O–C diagrams, and provide precise ephemerides.
