Conference rationale
In the decade since the first detection of an exoplanetary transit, more
than 60 transiting exoplanets have been discovered and characterized,
using both ground-based and space-based observations. A few systems
including a transiting planet have also been discovered, providing
precise data that can be used for dynamical modelling and for
investigating the processes of planet formation and migration.
Observations of transits provide not only fundamental parameters of the
planet, but also the relative inclination between the orbit and the
stellar rotation axis, which offers additional constraints on formation
and migration scenarios. The Colloquium "Detection and dynamics of
transiting exoplanets" is intended to review all the observed
characteristics of transiting systems, and all theoretical works
related to the measured properties.
Main topics of this colloquium include:
- masses and radii of transiting planets
- internal structure modelling
- observed inclination and eccentricity of transiting systems
- dynamics of systems, links from observations to theory
- formation and migration scenarios
- observations and modelling of transit timing variations
- star-planet interactions in transiting systems: tides, irradiation
- future observational projects
Registration is now closed!
The
number of participants already reached the limit of 80 and we have to
close the pre-registration! If you pre-registered after 15th
March or so, you pobably are on a waiting list and we will inform you
in the coming weeks if you can register.
Those of you whose pre-registration has been confirmed, please proceed
with the final registration before 1st May by following the link in the
pre-registration confirmation email. Only credit cards
are accepted, money wiring from your institute to CNRS is not possible.
