6. Microlensing, Astrometry and Other Methods 20.09.2026 54minFrontiers/Controversies in Astrophysics (ASTR 160)The class begins with a discussion on transits important astronomical events that help astronomers to find new planets. The event occurs when a celestial body moves across the face of the star it revolves around and blocks some of its light.

The concept of planetary migration is explained in order to better understand the dramatic differences between bodies in the Inner and Outer Solar System. Finally, potential problems in the Solar System that may occur as a result of migration are addressed.00:00 - Chapter 1. Complexities and New Observations on Hot Jupiters07:38 - Chapter 2.
