A joint Japanese/New Zealand project established to carry out astrophysical observations using a gravitational microlensing technique. Applications include research for extra-solar planets, dark matter, stellar atmospheres, and variable stars. Page includes information on imaging processes, the group's telescope, and publications.

Home site of European Union funded Research Training Network "The Origin of Planetary Systems".

This page presents a list of carefully selected links to very informative sites about extra solar planets.

Contains information and free illustrations of Extrasolar planets (carbon planets, gas giants and terrestrial planets), detection methods and missions.

Orbits of planets in binary star systems. Java orbit animations and diagrams of stable retrograde planetary orbits not documented anywhere else.

The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope designed to study the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the evolution of galaxies and the production of elements by stars, and the process of star and planet formation.

South Pole based observatory to detect transits of extrasolar planets.

Astronomers have found the oldest and most distant planet known in the universe.

EXPORT is a consortium of European astronomers using the telescopes on La Palma and Tenerife to study extra-solar planets, as well as the formation and evolution of protoplanetary systems.

An analysis of the differences between planets orbiting red dwarf stars including tidal locking and spectrum. Shows how life could develop in these conditions.
