... Astronomers have used a new technique to see the faint light from a planet that is orbiting a distant star. ... Instead, astronomers found them by looking for telltale clues, such as how the light from a star dims when an exo-planet passes in front of it, or how it wobbles because of the pull of an exo-planet s gravity. Astronomers can learn a lot about exo-planets that move in front of their stars. This is because the starlight passes through the exo-planet s atmosphere on its way to Earth. ...

... Direct Observation of Extra-Solar Planets with an Infrared Interferometer . ... Current . Missions . ... Research . ... 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. ... We propose an observing strategy to monitor hot extra-solar planets of the 51 Peg class. ...

This process is thought to occur in circumstellar disks of gas and dust around young stars on rather short timescales : infrared surveys show that the number of low mass stars with disks drops dramatically for stars older than 10 Myr, suggesting that in order to form large solids before the disk disperses, the growth process has to take place within a few million years. ...

. This artistтАЩs impression shows the disk of gas and cosmic dust around the young star HD 142527. Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) telescope have seen vast streams of gas flowing across the gap in the disk. These are the first direct observations of these streams, which are expected to be created by giant planets guzzling gas as they grow, and which are a key stage in the birth of giant planets. // Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/M.
