Scientific paper

Transit surveys represent the easiest and most powerful mean to directly characterize exoplanets orbiting close to their stars. Combined to radial velocity measurements, the observations allow us to constrain the global compositions of planets and thus to better understand the processes that lead to their formation. I will present an analysis of the yield of transit surveys that combines our present knowledge of star and planet populations to evolution models for planets. I will show that the model can be successfully applied to the ensemble of known transiting planet, and used to predict the yield of the CoRoT mission, given the successful launch of the satellite on December 27, 2006. The latest results from the mission will be presented and analyzed in terms of consequences for our understanding of planet formation and evolution.
