Pulsating stars harbouring planets
, 2011 Why bother with asteroseismology while studying exoplanets? There are several answers to this question. Asteroseismology and exoplanetary sciences have much in common and the synergy between the two opens up new aspects in both fields.

Exoplanet Detection Techniques [PDF]
, 2014 We are still in the early days of exoplanet discovery. Astronomers are beginning to model the atmospheres and interiors of exoplanets and have developed a deeper understanding of processes of planet formation and evolution. However, we have yet to map out the full complexity of multi-planet architectures or to detect Earth analogues around nearby stars.

Methane Planets and their Mass-Radius Relation
, 2015 Knowledge of both the mass and radius of an exoplanet allows us to estimate its mean density, and therefore its composition. Exoplanets seem to fill a very large parameter space in terms of mass and composition, and unlike the solar-system's planets ...

Imaging and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets with the Next Generation of Space Telescopes
Geosciences, 2018 The study and characterization of the exoplanets’ atmospheres and composition is in its infancy. The large facilities that will make feasible to image an exo-Earth are currently under study.

A Quantitative Criterion for Defining Planets
, 2015 A simple metric can be used to determine whether a planet or exoplanet can clear its orbital zone during a characteristic time scale, such as the lifetime of the host star on the main sequence.

Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2019 AbstractThis paper reviews the basic equations used in the study of the tidal variations of the rotational and orbital elements of a system formed by one star and one close-in planet as given by the creep tide theory and Darwin’s constant time lag (CTL) theory.

The Adaptability of Life on Earth and the Diversity of Planetary Habitats
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 The evolutionary adaptability of life to extreme environments is astounding given that all life on Earth is based on the same fundamental biochemistry. The range of some physicochemical parameters on Earth exceeds the ability of life to adapt, but stays ...

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2010 Our knowledge about exoplanets evolves rapidly. Here I give a short overview of some aspects of the exoplanet research and I also introduce shortly the reader to the Hungarian activities in the exoplanet field.
