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.
