Exoplanet research is one of the most explosive subjects in astronomy today. More than 500 exoplanets are now known, and groups world-wide are actively involved in a broad range of observational and theoretical efforts. A second look at data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is reanimating the claim that the nearby star Fomalhaut hosts a massive exoplanet. The study suggests that the planet, named Fomalhaut b, is a rare and possibly unique object that is completely shrouded by dust.

The mass given to Kepler-35(AB) is the sum of the masses of components A and B. The parameters for the individual components are (in solar units - Welsh et al. 2012): Lecture program 1.

In a field that is progressing at a dizzying pace, Michael Perryman has carefully digested a huge volume of research and presented the reader with an accessible summary in a clear and authoritative style. The Exoplanet Handbook Author : Michael Perryman ISBN : 9781108419772 The topic hence is an extremely "hot" one - all the more so because the recently launched Kepler spacecraft should soon start uncovering many more exoplanets, some perhaps comparable with the Earth (and therefore possibly This state-of-the-art reference work includes over 15 sections dealing with all aspects of exoplanets and exobiology research, including historic aspects, the Solar System as a template, objects at the planet-to-star transition, exoplanet detection and characterization with related instrumentation, technology and software tools, planet and planet-system statistics with recent and planned 'The second edition of The Exoplanet Handbook is an extraordinary achievement.
