... The unexpected discovery of Jupiter-size planets very close to their parent stars (two examples of which are 51 Peg and Boo) creates a challenge for theories of planetary formation and structure. ... Direct observation of such extra-solar planets with an infrared interferometer is a difficult task because of the very high dynamic range required (typically 3?104 to 3?105), but not impossible if a very careful spatial filtering and calibration is imposed upon the recombined beams. ...

... Since planets are expected to form out of the material in disks around young stars, the formation of a planet will thoroughly alter the structure of the circumstellar disk of their host star, forming significant gaps in the radial distribution of matter around the star. Additionally, processing of solids (annealing/crystallization) and changes in the overall gas/dust ratio are thought to happen during the planet formation process and are believed to alter the observational signature of the disk. ...
