EAS SYMPOSIUM 1: EXTRASOLAR PLANETS

20-22 August 2007

Contact: Michel Mayor (Switzerland)

The progress of our knowledge of the extrasolar planets has stimulated intensive research in many countries in Europe. There is, therefore, a need for a meeting to enable comparing new results and to confront the theory of formation and evolution of planets with the rapidly emerging body of detections.

SOC

Isabelle Baraffe (France), Willy Benz (Switzerland), Garik Israelian (Spain), Richard Nelson (UK), Tsevi Mazeh (Israel), Michel Mayor (Switzerland, Chair).

Topics:

- Transiting planets - a tool to study the structure and evolution of extrasolar planets
- The distribution of extrasolar planets
- Observational techniques
- Detailed models of planet formation and migration to explain the emerging distribution
- Recent results
