1. 1. Detecting Transiting Exoplanets in Crowded Fields

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

   Author : Eddie Larsson; [2022]
   Keywords : Transit method; Globular cluster; crowded environments; exoplanets; transiting exoplanets; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The first planet orbiting a main-sequence star was discovered in 1995. Since then more than 4000 additional exoplanets have been discovered.
