Description for Methods of Detecting Exoplanets: 1st Advanced School on Exoplanetary Science
Hardback. Editor(s): Bozza, Valerio; Mancini, Luigi V.; Sozzetti, Alessandro. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 150 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PG; TTDS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
In this book, renowned scientists describe the various techniques used to detect and characterize extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, with a view to unveiling the tricks of the trade of planet detection to a wider community. The radial velocity method, transit method, microlensing method, and direct imaging method are all clearly explained, drawing attention to their advantages and limitations and highlighting the complementary roles that they can play in improving the characterization of exoplanets' physical and orbital properties. By probing the planetary frequency at different distances and in different conditions, these techniques are helping astrophysicists to reconstruct the scenarios ... Read more
