Scientific paper

At the end of June 2006, 194 planets have been discovered (see the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia for a permanent update: http://exoplanet.eu). In our solar system, 7 of the 9 planets have from 1 to several tens of satellites. The search for satellites of extrasolar planets is relevant for the understanding of planetary system's evolution and for the perspective of their habitability (Williams et al. te{williams97}). We have written an article (Cabrera & Schneider te{cabrera06}) studying possible interactions between satellites and their host planets in extrasolar systems and how these phenomena will affect their detection. Here, we show part of this work: how lightcurves will be affected by mutual phenomena between a planet and its satellite.
