Characterising exoplanet atmospheres: Bayesian techniques for transit lightcurves

<p>Precise measurements of transit lightcurves can be used to constrain the composition and structure of exoplanet atmospheres. Unfortunately, efforts to extract this information are usually hampered by the presence of correlated noise that is degenerate with the astrophysical signal of intere...
