This 2007 volume presents the lectures from the sixteenth Winter
School of the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, which was
dedicated to extrasolar planets. Research into extrasolar planets
is one of the most exciting fields of astrophysics, and the past
decade has seen a research leap from speculations on the existence
of planets orbiting other stars to the discovery of around 200
planets to date. The book covers a wide range of issues, from the
state-of-the-art observational techniques used to detect extrasolar
planets, to the characterizations of these planets, and the
techniques used in the remote detection of life. It also looks at
the insights we can gain from our own Solar System, and how we can
apply them. The contributors, all of high-standing in the field,
provide a balanced and varied introduction to extrasolar planets
for research astronomers and graduate students, bridging
theoretical developments and observational advances.
