## Overview

Exoplanets reveal themselves indirectly: tiny dips in starlight (transits)
or tiny stellar wobbles (radial velocity). This skill covers both
detection methods end to end — from light curves and spectra to planet
parameters — plus the false-positive vetting (eclipsing binaries,
blends, stellar activity) that separates discoveries from retractions.

## When to use

- Searching light curves (TESS, Kepler, ground-based) for transit signals
- Planning or interpreting radial-velocity follow-up of a candidate
- Vetting a transit candidate: ruling out eclipsing binaries and blends
- Deriving planet radius, mass, and orbital parameters from the data
