The effect of scintillation on ground-based exoplanet transit photometry
In this thesis, the effect of scintillation arising from atmospheric optical turbulence on exoplanet transit and secondary eclipse photometry is examined. Atmospheric scintillation arises from the propagation of phase aberrations resulting from wavefront perturbations due to optical turbulence high...
