By September 2006, more than 200 planets have been discovered (see the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopedia at exoplanet.eu for a permanent update). In our solar system, 6 of the 8 planets have from one to several tens of satellites and numerical simulations show that they should be common \citep{ida97}. The search for satellites of extrasolar planets is relevant for the understanding of planetary system's evolution and for the perspective of their habitability \citep{williams97}. We study the possible interactions between satellites and their host planets in extrasolar systems and how these phenomena will affect their detection.
