2 The Ancient History of Comparative Planetology There are infinite worlds both like and unlike this world of ours...we must believe that in all worlds there are living creatures and plants and other things we see in this world --- Epicurus (c. 300 BCE) (died painfully 269 BCE) false and damnable... G. Galilei (b. 1564) (life imprisonment 1633) M. Devirian IEEEAC#1124 2
3 Milestones >500 Exoplanets detected, mostly Giant Planets (e.g. Jupiters) ~ 70 transiting planets, Detection of H 2 O, CO, Na, maybe CO 2, CH 4 Spitzer and NICMOS light curves and secondary eclipse measurements Many temperatures measured GJ 436b and HAT-P-11b: Neptunes in Transit! >70 Neptunes and Super-Earths HD b with a ~80 Earth-mass core HD with high e: light curve and secondary transit! ~3.3 Earth-mass object orbiting a brown dwarf; 3 Pulsar planets (Wolszczan and Frail 1992) Several > Earth-mass planets by RV and transit techniques (e.g., CoRoT-7bc, GL 581e, GJ 1214b) **Discoveries of Fomalhaut b and HR 8799bcd, and perhaps β Pic b 3
