1. 1. The Little Book Of Exoplanets

   

   This concise, accessible guide explains how astronomers find and characterize planets beyond the Solar System, describing the main detection techniques (radial-velocity, transits, direct imaging, microlensing) and how measurements of mass, radius, and spectra reveal planetary composition, atmospheres, and orbits. It surveys the surprising diversity of exoplanets—from hot Jupiters to super-Earths and mini-Neptunes—recounts key discoveries and missions that transformed the field, and discusses the implications for theories of planet formation and the search for habitable worlds, emphasizing how relatively simple observations can yield profound scientific inferences.
