Extrasolar Planets : Saas Fee Advanced Course 31. Swiss Society for Astrophysics and Astronomy (Saas-Fee Advanced Courses)
by Tristan Guillot, Patrick Cassen, Andreas Quirrenbach, Stephane Udry (Editor), Michel Mayor (Editor), Willy Benz (Editor), Didier Queloz (Editor)
- Hardcover: 451 pages
- Publisher: Springer; 1 edition (June 2006)
- ISBN: 3540292160
Research on extrasolar planets is one of the most exciting fields of activity in astrophysics. In a decade only, a huge step forward has been made from the early speculations on the existence of planets orbiting "other stars" to the first discoveries and to the characterization of extrasolar planets. This breakthrough is the result of a growing interest of a large community of researchers as well as the development of a wide range of new observational techniques and facilities. Based on their lectures given at the 31st Saas-Fee Advanced Course, Andreas Quirrenbach, Tristan Guillot and Pat Cassen have written up up-to-date comprehensive lecture notes on the "Detection and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets", "Physics of Substellar Objects Interiors, Atmospheres, Evolution" and "Protostellar Disks and Planet Formation". This book will serve graduate students, lecturers and scientists entering the field of extrasolar planets as detailed and comprehensive introduction.
