Using Kepler Space Telescope Data to Identify an Exoplanet

Post by 82c4aaeb51244dc686aff4df268ab0bc »

I am having problems with exporting and reading data from this telescope. What am i supposed to do? If i want to try to propose an exoplanet, what should i do?

Hi,
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with this experiment.
Please let us know how / what specific problems are you running into with the data export.

In regards to what to do, please take a look at the links on the transit light curve tutorial provided on the abstract page.

(As a starting point, I would suggest that you first identify the "parameters" and patterns that's important to finding an exoplanet. Then, perform a search on the Kepler data sets (probably in some kind of subsets))

Good Luck!
