The Big Occulting Steerable Satellite (project) - Mission designed to provide improved resolution of closely spaced objects with comparable brightnesses (binary stars, microlensing events) and to facilitate separation of dim objects from nearby bright objects (such as planets around stars).
European Extra-Solar Planet Consortium - EXPORT is a consortium of European astronomers using the telescopes on La Palma and Tenerife to study extra-solar planets, as well as the formation and evolution of protoplanetary systems.
ExNPS Road Map - August 1996 - NASA Origins program report on the progress and future plans for the discovery of extrasolar planetary systems.
Extrasolar Planet Detection with the AFOE - Extrasolar Planet Detection with the AFOE The Advanced Fiber-Optic Echelle (AFOE) spectrometer is a fiber-fed, bench-mounted echelle spectrograph, located at the 1.5m telescope of the Whipple Observatory, near Tucson, Arizona.
Full-sky Astrometric Mapping Explorer - FAME is an astrometric satellite designed to determine with unprecedented accuracy the positions, distances, and motions of 40 million stars within our galactic neighborhood. It is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) and several other institutions.
Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search - The extrasolar planet search in Geneva. This team has found in '95 the first extrasolar planets around the star 51 Pegasi.
James Webb Space Telescope - The JWST is a large, infrared-optimized space telescope designed to study the formation of the first stars and galaxies, the evolution of galaxies and the production of elements by stars, and the process of star and planet formation.
Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) - A joint Japanese/New Zealand project established to carry out astrophysical observations using a gravitational microlensing technique. Applications include research for extra-solar planets, dark matter, stellar atmospheres, and variable stars. Page includes information on imaging processes, the group's telescope, and publications.
Microvariability and Oscillations os STars - Detection and characterisation of: (1) acoustic oscillations in Sun-like stars, including very old stars (metal-poor subdwarfs) and magnetic stars (roAp), to probe seismically their structures and ages; (2) reflected light from giant exoplanets closely orbiting Sun-like stars, to reveal their sizes and atmospheric compositions; and (3) turbulent variations in massive evolved (Wolf-Rayet) stars to understand how they add gas to the interstellar medium.
Nova Celestia - A Guide to Extrasolar Planets - Contains information and free illustrations of Extrasolar planets (carbon planets, gas giants and terrestrial planets), detection methods and missions.
Optical Long Baseline Interferometry News - NASA JPL's Optical Long Baseline Interferometer project homepage. Aims to increase optical resolution of the local universe sufficient to detect extrasolar planets and other phenomena.
Planet Quest - A NASA and JPL site in search of another Earth
Planet Quest: Missions - Terrestrial Planet Finder - Will study all aspects of planets outside the solar system from their formation and development to the presence and features of those planets orbiting the nearest stars.
Space - Orbits of planets in binary star systems. Java orbit animations and diagrams of stable retrograde planetary orbits not documented anywhere else.
Terrestrial Planet Finder - Explains NASA's plan to use sensitive telescopes to find planets outside of the solar-system. Includes charts and drawings.
Transit search - The purpose of transitsearch.org is to coordinate and direct a cooperative observational effort which will allow experienced amateur astronomers and small college observatories to discover transiting extrasolar planets.
Transits of Extrasolar Planets - The TEP network is a group of collaborators searching for Transits of Extrasolar Planets.
