Astrophysics Data Analysis Course
This course equips you to excel in astrophysics data analysis. You'll tap into public data vaults, process and refine light curves, spot and model exoplanet transits, calculate planet radii, and account for stellar influences using pro-level tools and techniques suited for physicists in Zimbabwean or global settings.

What will I learn?
Gain hands-on skills in detecting and analysing exoplanet transits with genuine space telescope data. Master accessing key data archives, retrieving and preparing light curves, managing time formats, correcting and standardising flux levels, performing BLS transit searches, deriving transit parameters, modelling light curves to determine planet sizes, fetching star details from databases, and delivering well-documented, repeatable findings backed by solid science.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Detect exoplanet transits by applying BLS and phase-folding on actual light curves.
- Clean high-precision light curves swiftly through detrending, noise removal, and normalisation.
- Estimate planet radii by fitting transit models and accounting for stellar and depth uncertainties.
- Expertly mine archives for Kepler and TESS data plus stellar info using MAST and APIs.
- Build reproducible workflows in astrophysics with clear documentation of data, code, and errors.
