Den första planeten utanför vårt solsystem upptäcktes 1995 och antalet har ökat drastiskt sedan dess. Ett av de vanligaste sätten att upptäcka exoplaneter är genom att använda transitmetoden. När en planet är i omloppsbana runt en stjärna så kan det hända att planeten blockerar en del ljus som stjärnThe first planet orbiting a main-sequence star was discovered in 1995. Since then more than 4000 additional exoplanets have been discovered. This is a rapidly evolving field in astrophysics. One of the most common ways to detect an exoplanet is through transit, as the brightness of the host star decreases. The transit method is suitable for surveying a large number of stars at the same time and mo
