Investigating Light Curves for Exoplanets
Analyze light curves to determine anomalies and potential exoplanets. Explore examples like OGLE-2007-BLG-368 and OGLE-2012-BLG-0358. Organize groups for collaborative review and selection of data. Prepare for a hands-on session to deepen understanding.

Does This Lightcurve Have a Planet? Examples
Two Main Questions 1. Is it anomalous? (i.e. does it deviate from a point lens?) 2. If yes, is that anomaly due to a planet?
1. Break into 8 groups of 7-8 people each 2. Each group should break into 3 subgroups of 2-3 people each 3. 20-30 minutes Subgroups review light curves 4. 15 minutes Group makes final selections and enters them in the spreadsheet 5. Brief review of a few events https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CYah8UI wG7pWfetVDSjaQzQtrEq42w-pZnSaro8hT- 0/edit?usp=sharing
Keep your packets and bring them for tomorrow s Hands-On Session.
