The aim of the course is also to get observations of transits (observational practice). Students will learn the software, tools, and techniques for the photometry of exoplanets and variable stars and their differences. Introduction and classification of extrasolar planetary systems and the possible habitability of Earth-like planets. Further topics are planetology and the classification of life as well as exotic and extreme life.
