Physics¶
Everything you need for the physics lesson, where you measure a real exoplanet transit with a light sensor.
Worksheet¶
Emmy's prompt¶
Emmy is your AI research mentor. She guides you through your own experiment by asking questions rather than handing you the answer. Open the file below, copy all of its text, and paste it as the first message in a new chat with the AI chatbot your school allows. Emmy will introduce herself and take it from there.
The star image¶
Display this image on your phone as the star. During the experiment you move the "planet" in front of it while your light sensor records the dip in brightness.
Analyse your data¶
Use this notebook to load your light-sensor data, draw the light curve, and work out the transit depth. It opens in your browser, no installation needed.
Your exoplanet¶
For the last assignment you need the planet file of your group's exoplanet. You find it in the Exoplanet Files.
