  • For the first time, the methods used in the detection and characterisation of exoplanets are presented in a textbook for advanced undergraduates. From determining the atmospheric properties of transiting exoplanets to measuring the planetary orbit’s alignment with the stellar spin, students will learn how these methods have reinvigorated theories of planet formation and evolution.
