Latest Developments on Detecting and Characterizing Low-mass Earth-Iike Planets
The search for low-mass Earth-Iike extrasolar planets is a rapidly evolving field, with significant developments being made, or soon to be made, by three tech niques, viz., the radial velocity, microlensing and transit techniques. Results on the detection of planets with masses ≤ 10 x M⊕by the radial velocity and microlensing techniques are briefly reviewed here. Details of the microlensing technique, in which the author has personal involvement, are also presented. Expectations for future de velopments, especially by the Kepler space mission using the transit technique, are also given. Finally, some general remarks are made.
