In IAU Symposium 282, members of the exoplanet and binary star
communities unite for the first time to discuss the
state-of-the-art discovery, imaging, modeling and analysis tools
used to study stars, brown dwarfs and exoplanets in multiple-object
systems. They describe detection techniques using advanced
telescopes and detectors, including the Kepler mission and the
proposed Gaia and LSST projects. Imaging techniques discussed
include adaptive optics, interferometry, polarimetry and
tomography, while key modeling tools are covered in detail. Other
topics include simulations of formation mechanisms in binary star
systems, non-conservative evolution of binary stars, the formation
and evolution of planets and a theory for the structure,
atmospheres and evolution of giant exoplanets. The volume concludes
with hydrodynamic simulations, models of planetary atmospheres and
the habitability of exoplanets. These proceedings demonstrate how
sophisticated modeling codes bridge the gap between theory and
observations and increase our understanding of binary and multiple
systems.
