The Diversity of Exoplanets

In this MOOC, you will have the opportunity to practice several methods of detection and characterisation of exoplanets. You will discover their statistical properties and the current state of knowledge we have in this very recent field of research. You will also understand the limitations and biases of the different detection techniques. At the end of this MOOC, you will have a good general understanding of the methods of detection and characterisation of exoplanets and their atmosphere. You w

• You will explore the different ways of detecting and characterising exoplanets.
• You will learn about the physics of atmospheres, which is the key to discovering possible extraterrestrial life.
• You will get an overview of future space projects and missions in the field of exoplanets.
