Description

This latest, up-to-date resource for research on extrasolar planets covers formation, dynamics, atmospheres and detection. After a look at the formation of giant planets, the book goes on to discuss the formation and dynamics of planets in resonances, planets in double stars, atmospheres and habitable zones, detection via spectra and transits, and the history and prospects of ESPs as well as satellite projects. Edited by a renowned expert in solar system dynamics with chapters written by the leading experts in the method described — from the US and Europe — this is an ideal textbook for graduates, students in astronomy, and astronomers.

Editorial Reviews: From the Inside Flap The extrasolar planets are one of the research focuses of modern astronomy. Their detection in the close vicinity of their brilliant central stars require the highest possible skills in observational accuracy, instrument performance and data evaluation. The investigation of those objects yield new insights into the physics and chemistry of planets in general, hence into the origin of our home world. Detection methods employ the observation of various parameters of stellar light as well as of the evolving planets themselves. This work covers the evolution and dynamics of planets as well as their detection now and in the future.This latest, up-to-date resource for research on extrasolar planets covers formation, dynamics, atmospheres and detection.

Some 100 publications provide ample proof. His connections allowed him to assemble the team of leading authors to cover all aspects of the detection of distant worlds. Read more
