L - High-spectral resolution observations of exoplanets
Engin Keles
Additional information / Pre-requisites
Contents for the specific course offered by Engin Keles:
Qualification objectives: The students have basic knowledge of the different observation methods of extrasolar planets. They can use various analysis techniques to obtain a variety of information from spectroscopic observation data, including the host star, the architecture of the system, and the planet's atmosphere. They can assess what properties of extrasolar systems can be determined through observations, which analysis methods are suitable for this and what the current state of science is about the properties of extrasolar planets.
Content: Students receive an overview of the methods of analyzing observational data from extrasolar planets. They examine exoplanet observations to find out information about the star and planet in the observed system. This includes, for example, the planning of observations, the creation of transmission and emission spectra, the search for absorption and emission signatures of the planet's atmosphere and the determination of wind strengths inferred from the signatures, the investigation of the activity of the host star and its influences on the data, as well as the determination of stellar and planetary parameters.

High- spectral resolution observations of exoplanets ( by Engin Keles in WS 2024_25)
Qualification objectives: The students have basic knowledge of the
analysis of different observational methods of extrasolar planets. They
can use various analysis techniques to obtain a variety of information
from spectroscopic observation data, including the host star, the
architecture of the system, and the planet's atmosphere. They can assess
what properties of extrasolar systems can be determined through
ground-based high-spectral resolution observations, which analysis methods
are suitable for this and what the current state of science is about the
properties of extrasolar planets.
