South Pole based observatory to detect transits of extrasolar planets.

Describes several projects aiming to detect extra-solar planets.

The UMBRAS goal is to use external occulters to allow a search to be made for extrasolar planets in ways that cannot be done with current methods.

The TEP network is a group of collaborators searching for Transits of Extrasolar Planets.

Project to encourage amateur astronomers worldwide to detect transiting extrasolar planets.

The VLT UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph

A long term project with the main goal of searching for the dark matter with microlensing phenomena.

The reference site for astronomer involved in the search for extrasolar planets.

Explains NASA's plan to use sensitive telescopes to find planets outside of the solar-system. Includes charts and drawings.

STARE uses precise time-series photometry to search for extrasolar giant planets transiting their parent stars. Includes an overview of the project, sample results and data products.

A brief history of the search for extrasolar planets, the findings and the future implications.

Astronomers have found the oldest and most distant planet known in the universe. Written by Ron Cowen.

Worldwide Network of Astronomers Searching for Extra-Solar Planets

Will study all aspects of planets outside the solar system from their formation and development to the presence and features of those planets orbiting the nearest stars.

A NASA and JPL site in search of another Earth

NASA planet imager proposal.

NASA JPL's Optical Long Baseline Interferometer project homepage. Aims to increase optical resolution of the local universe sufficient to detect extrasolar planets and other phenomena.

Contains information and free illustrations of Extrasolar planets (carbon planets, gas giants and terrestrial planets), detection methods and missions.

Annual report on the progress and future plans for the research being undertaken.

Detection and characterisation of: (1) acoustic oscillations in Sun-like stars, including very old stars (metal-poor subdwarfs) and magnetic stars (roAp), to probe seismically their structures and ages; (2) reflected light from giant exoplanets closely orbiting Sun-like stars, to reveal their sizes and atmospheric compositions; and (3) turbulent variations in massive evolved (Wolf-Rayet) stars to understand how they add gas to the interstellar medium.

A joint Japanese/New Zealand project established to carry out astrophysical observations using a gravitational microlensing technique. Applications include research for extra-solar planets, dark matter, stellar atmospheres, and variable stars. Page includes information on imaging processes, the group's telescope, and publications.

The JWST is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope designed to study the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the evolution of galaxies and the production of elements by stars, and the process of star and planet formation.

Includes details of projects, publications, software, and group members.
