Modelling light and velocity curves of exoplanet hosts
Research in extrasolar-planet science is data-driven. With the advent of radial-velocity instruments like HARPS and HARPS-N, and transit space missions like Kepler, our ability to discover and characterise extrasolar planets is no longer limited by instrumental precision but by our ability to model...

Research in extrasolar-planet science is data-driven.

This chapter presents the models that describe radial-velocity measurements and transit light curves.
