Extrasolar Planets : Today and Tomorrow: Conference Held 30 June-4 July 2003 at Institut D'Astrophysique de Paris, France
Summary
Papers from a summer 2003 meeting present observational and theoretical results from research on extrasolar planets, highlighting progress made in understanding the dynamics of planets in disks and in multibody systems and pointing toward unsolved problems in the field. Material is in sections on detection and characterization of extrasolar planets, disks and planetary formation, and disk-planet and planet-planet interaction. Some subjects discussed include polarization spectra of extrasolar giant planets, the search for exospheric signatures from transiting planets, and rotation of extrasolar planets. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
