Since the discovery of the first planet, orbiting a sun-like star outside of our solar system, astronomy has changed dramatically. This event inspired a wide spectrum of activities not just in observational astronomy but in all fields related to planets from star formation to astrobiology. The discovery itself was the result of long and systematic work on perfecting measuring techniques and collecting data. Once the required level of precision was reached news about extrasolar planets started to appear frequently not just in scientific journals but also in the general media.
Although fast progress is quite obvious in many areas related to planetary sciences for this Nobel symposium, dedicated to the Physics of Planetary Systems, we selected five topics where a number of particularly important breakthroughs happened in the last decade. These are:
detection of exoplanets planet birthplaces: observations and modelling planet formation evolution of planetary systems planet characterization.
We dedicated a full session, consisting of a few review talks and a joint discussion, to each of these topics. The format was a success, but what made this meeting so remarkable was the quality of the talks. We are very thankful to the world leading scientists for coming to Lidingö and making this symposium a truly memorable event. This book contains most of their contributions for you to enjoy.
We are very thankful to the Nobel Foundation for generous sponsorship which made this symposium possible.
