This book presents three major studies covering exomoon and
exoplanet detection and characterisation. Firstly, it reports the
observations and analysis of the atmosphere of the hot Neptune
GJ3470b, one of the lowest-mass planets with a measured atmosphere,
using transmission spectroscopy techniques. The result provided
improved measurements of Rayleigh scattering in the atmosphere and
the first limits on additional planetary companions in the system.
The second part discusses modeling a Kepler-like satellite's
ability of a to detect exomoons by looking for transit timing
variations and transit duration variations, demonstrating how
exomoons can unambiguously be identified from such data.Lastly, the
book examines the development of a state-of-the-art Galactic
microlensing simulator, which has been made publicly available. It
was used to compare with the largest published sample of
microlensing events from the MOA-II survey.
