Transmission spectroscopy studies of exoplanet atmospheres

这项工作涉及对系外行星大气层光谱学和光度学研究网络收集的数据进行整理和分析。SPEARNET正在使用一个全球分布的光学和近红外设施网络来研究凌日系外行星的大气。SPEARNET的目标是开发工具和程序，以便用多台望远镜对系外行星大气进行可靠的研究，并从用可量化的选择函数选定的行星样本中对热彗星和海王星的大气进行统计研究。这个博士项目将涉及与光谱学和光度数据的工作，以构建我们的目标系统的多波长过境光变曲线，以及建模和分析它们。

This work involves the reduction and analysis of data collected by the Spectroscopy and Photometry of Exoplanet Atmospheres Research Network (SPEARNET). SPEARNET is using a globally distributed network of optical and near-IR facilities to study the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets. The goal of SPEARNET is to develop tools and processes for the robust study of exoplanet atmospheres with multiple telescopes and to undertake statistical studies of the atmospheres of hot Jupiters and Neptunes from a sample of planets chosen with a quantifiable selection function. This PhD project will involve working with spectroscopy and photometric data to construct multi-wavelength transit lightcurves of our target systems, as well as to model and analyse them.
