{"product_id":"extrasolar-planets-and-their-host-kaspar-von-braun-9783319611969","title":"Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars","description":"This book explores the relations between physical parameters of extrasolar planets and their respective parent stars. Planetary parameters are often directly dependent upon their stellar counterparts. In addition, the star is almost always the only visible component of the system and contains most of the system mass. Consequently, the parent star heavily influences every aspect of planetary physics and astrophysics. Drs. Kaspar von Braun and Tabetha Boyajian use direct methods to characterize exoplanet host starts that minimize the number of assumptions needed to be made in the process.\u003cbr\u003eThe book provides a background on interferometric techniques for stellar diameter measurements, illustrates the authors' approach on using additional data to fully characterize the stars, provides a comprehensive update on the current state of the field, and examines in detail a number of historically significant and well-studied exoplanetary systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kaspar Von Braun,Tabetha Boyajian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319611968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319611969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.18d","brand":"Kaspar Von Braun","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579924070655,"sku":"9783319611969","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_224280df-b72c-4923-9dce-741393f9d963.jpg?v=1763877604","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/extrasolar-planets-and-their-host-kaspar-von-braun-9783319611969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
