The Birth of Stars and Exoplanets Astronomy Do planets orbit other stars or is ours the only planetary system? In the past few decades, new technology has enabled us to answer that question by revealing nearly 3500 exoplanets in over 2600 planetary systems. Even before planets were detected, astronomers had predicted that planetary systems were likely to be byproducts of the star-formation process. In this book, we look at how interstellar matter is transformed into stars and planets. Chapter Outline: Thinking Ahead Star Formation The H-R Diagram and the Study of Stellar Evolution Evidence That Planets Form around Other Stars Planets beyond the Solar System: Search and Discovery Exoplanets Everywhere: What We Are Learning New Perspectives on Planet Formation The Open Courses Library introduces you to the best Open Source Courses.

Studies of stellar formation in galaxies have a profound impact on our understanding of the present and the early universe. The book describes complex physical processes involved in the creation of stars and during their young lives. It illustrates how these processes reveal themselves from radio wavelengths to high energy X-rays and gamma -rays, with special reference towards high energy signatures. Several sections devoted to key analysis techniques demonstrate how modern research in this field is pursued.

The study of exoplanets is one of the most exciting areas of research in physics today, capturing the public’s imagination. How do exoplanets form? Where should we look for them? What can they teach us about life on earth and elsewhere in the universe? In this new book, one of the world's leading researchers on planet and star formation, explores all these questions and more. He shows how the birth of planets is inextricably linked to the formation of stars.
