Characterising exoplanets: detection, formation, interiors, atmospheres and habitability

11 - 12 March 2013, London, United Kingdom

Introduction

This meeting aims to set the agenda for the next decade in this rapidly expanding field of extra-solar planet science. Some 600 planets orbiting stars outside of our solar system have now been detected, with varying masses and orbital parameters. The challenge now is to move from detection to understanding these planets as bodies in their own right.
