The methods used in the detection and characterisation of
exoplanets are presented through the study of transiting systems in
this unique textbook for advanced undergraduates. From determining
the atmospheric properties of transiting exoplanets to measuring
the planetary orbit's alignment with the stellar spin, students
will discover what these measurements imply for reinvigorated
theories of planet formation and evolution. Worked examples and
exercises with full solutions help students to assess their
understanding of concepts and results. Key points and equations are
highlighted to make them easily identifiable, and there are full
colour illustrations throughout. Bridging the gap between
introductory, non-mathematical texts and more advanced textbooks,
this book is ideal for students with some background in
mathematics, physics and astronomy. Accompanying resources to this
textbook are available at:
