This international conference is devoted to the astrophysics of exoplanets. Among the more than 5000 exoplanets and candidates discovered so far are many extreme systems thatare quite unlike our own solar system. Understanding these exoplanets, in conjunction with proto planetary disks and the solar system planets, can provide new insights into the structure, formation and evolution of planetary systems.
The conference will consist of invited/solicited talks (mostly chosen from submit ted abstracts) and posters. While all topics (observation and theory) of exoplanetary science are welcome, a general theme isplanetary formation and evolution. To this end, related topics on proto planetary disks and solar system planets will also be covered.
