Steg 1 - Få tillgång till uppgifterna

To complete your casefile and profile mysterious exoplanets you need to select your target and access the Cheops satellite data. If this is the first exoplanet you analyse we suggest you start with KELT-3b. Astronomers use specific software tools to analyse the data and fit mathematical models. Access the data using one of the two options below. If you do not have access to a computer with internet, we recommend option 2.

Option 1: Online Allesfitter Tool

This option requires a laptop with internet access. You can access one of the tools astronomers use to analyse exoplanets: Allesfitter. This tool is available online, you do not need to install any software on your computer. Watch the video tutorial or download the step-by-step Allesfitter guide to learn how to use the tool and access the Cheops data.
