PDF-(EBOOK)-Extrasolar Planets and Astrobiology

This book offers an advanced introduction to the increasingly robust fields of extrasolar planets and astrobiology No other text currently available applies this level of mathematics and physics while also providing an extensive grounding in key issues of chemistry biology and geophysics With extensive references to the literature and chapterending exercises thisbookcan be used as the core text for teaching undergraduate or introductory graduate level courses The textwill alsoprovide astrobiologists with an indispensableUsers Manualwhen quick reference tokey mathematical and physical techniques is neededA continually updated online component fully cross referenced with thetext is alsoavailable Foreword by Geoff Marcy. This is a natural starting spot But what if planets are exceedingly rare This would put a dam per on the prospects for abundant life in the universe We therefore need information about how common planets are and the properties of their orbits and of !~2/3 - Temperature and "T To Be A Planet, Or Not To Be?.
