Abstract
The discovery of a signal from a putative extra-solar planet around the nearby Sun-like star 51 Peg by Mayor & Queloz and the rapid confirmation by Marcy & Butler was the main starting point for the field of extrasolar planets. More than a decade later, ‘51 Peg - type planets’ or ‘hot Jupiters’ are frequently discovered and characterised by a variety of methods. Developments in experimental capabilities means that so called hot Saturn’s and hot Neptune’s have also been discovered. The wide range of properties of close-orbiting planets has stimulated a plethora of physical models to explain their properties. They provide the sharpest test for theories of formation, e.g., gravitational instability versus core-accretion, the role of stellar metallicity in determining planetary core mass and how an irradiating star influences planetary contraction and migration, e.g., type I, type II and delayed. With the continuous development of experiments close-orbiting terrestrial-mass extra-solar planets are the exciting new frontier in astrophysics and will test a wide range of theoretical predictions.
