An in-depth review of the discovery methods, physics and theoretical background across the broad range of exoplanet science, including planet formation, their interiors and atmospheres, habitability and the search for life. This new edition includes extensive references and detailed appendices covering individual exoplanet discoveries.

Michael Perryman had a thirty-year career with the European Space Agency (ESA), initially as the scientific leader of the Hipparcos astrometry mission, 1981-97, and also serving as project manager for its operational phase, 1989-93. With Lennart Lindegren, he was the co-originator of the Gaia astrometry mission, a project expected to make important contributions to exoplanet science in the coming years. He was ESA's project scientist for Gaia from its earliest concepts in 1995 until the Critical Design Review in 2008, establishing the payload concept, technical feasibility, operational and data analysis principles, and its organisational structure, and coordinating its scientific case. He was Professor of Astronomy at Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, The Netherlands between 1993 and 2009, and Bohdan Paczy¿ski Visiting Professor at Princeton University, New Jersey in 2013.
