Hey,
I'm a programmer with a strong grasp of maths and wish to verify the existence of extrasolar planets. I assume they just use basic Newtonian physics.
Where can I download a dataset which has confirmed extrasolar planets so I can replicate the method they use to find them? What method do they use so I can recreate it?
NASA just released loads of Kepler data at http://archive.stsci.edu/pub/kepler/lightcurves/tarfiles/
I want to eventually assist in analysing the data so thanks for any suggestions
Bonus points if you give me the dataset for the coolest extrasolar star system- Gilese 581 ;)
