Description
For the first time in human history, we know for certain the existence of planets around other stars. The study of exoplanets is now the fastest-growing field in space science. This source book on the topic will lay the foundation for its continued growth, and will serve as both an introduction for the non-specialist and a foundation for the techniques and equations used in exoplanet observation by those dedicated to the field.
