Annotation Representing the presentations of 45 papers, these proceedings from the February 2000 conference in Cape Town discuss extra-solar planets, stellar astrophysics, galactic structure and constituents, and other topics related to the use of microlensing. Specific papers address the EROS microlensing alert system, difference imaging analysis, Baryonic dark matter, MACHOs, old white dwarfs, doppler searches, photometric characterization, planet detection, stellar atmospheres, source reconstruction, galactic structure, pixel lensing, future telescopes, monitoring light variations from space, and telescope design. Some papers are only represented in abstract form. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This book contains written versions of the presentations made at the 4th International Workshop on the Identification of Dark Matter (IDM 2002), held in York, UK, in September 2002. The objective of this workshop series is to assess the status of work attempting to identify what constitutes dark matter OCo in particular, to consider the techniques being used, how successful they are, and what new techniques are likely to improve prospects for identifying likely dark matter candidates in the future. At IDM 2002 special emphasis was placed on recent results obtained in searches for baryonic and non-baryonic dark matter. The proceedings include reviews of major topics on dark matter, as well as short contributed talks."

One of the most attractive features of the young discipline of Space Science is that many of the original pioneers and key players involved are still available to describe their field. Hence, at this point in history we are in a unique position to gain first-hand insight into the field and its development. To this end, The Century of Space Science, a scholarly, authoritative, reference book presents a chapter-by-chapter retrospective of space science as studied in the 20th century. The level is academic and focuses on key discoveries, how these were arrived at, their scientific consequences and how these discoveries advanced the thoughts of the key players involved. With over 90 world-class contributors, such as James Van Allen, Cornelis de Jager, Eugene Parker, Reimar Lüst, and Ernst Stuhlinger, and with a Foreword by Lodewijk Woltjer (past ESO Director General), this book will be immensely useful to readers in the fields of space science, astronomy, and the history of science. Both academic institutions and researchers will find that this major reference work makes an invaluable addition to their collection.

Abstract: Microlensing events, especially ones due to a lens composed of a binary system can provide new channels to approach some of old questions in astronomy. Here, by modeling lightcurves of three binary-lens microlensing events observed by PLANET, I illustrate specific applications of binary-lens microlensing to real astrophysical problems. The lightcurve of a prototypical caustics-crossing binary-lens microlensing event OGLE-1999-BUL-23, which has been especially densely covered by PLANET during its second caustic crossing, enables me to measure the linear limb-darkening coefficients of the source star in I and V bands. The results are more or less consistent with theoretical predictions based on stellar atmosphere models, although the nonlinearity of the actual stellar surface brightness profile may have complicated the interpretation, especially for I band. Next, I find that the model for the lightcurve of EROS BLG-2000-5, another caustics-crossing binary-lens microlensing event, but exhibiting an unusually long second caustic crossing as well as a very prominent third peak due to a close approach to a cusp, requires incorporation of the microlens parallax and the binary orbital motion. Its projected Einstein radius is derived from the measured microlens parallax, and its angular Einstein radius is inferred from the finite source effect on the lightcurve, combined with an estimate of the source angular size given by the source position on the color-magnitude diagram. The lens mass is found by combining the above two quantities. This event marks the first case that the parallax effects are detected for a caustic-crossing event and the first time that the lens mass degeneracy has been broken. The analysis of the lightcurve of MACHO 97-BLG-47, an almost normal event with a well-covered short-duration anomaly near the peak, shows that it is caused by an extreme-separation binary-lens. Although lightcurve anomalies that are similar to what was observed for MACHO 97-BLG-47 may result from either a planet around the lens or an extreme-separation binary, this result demonstrates that the two classes of events can be distinguished in practice.

Research on extrasolar planets is one of the most exciting fields of activity in astrophysics. In a decade only, a huge step forward has been made from the early speculations on the existence of planets orbiting "other stars" to the first discoveries and to the characterization of extrasolar planets. This breakthrough is the result of a growing interest of a large community of researchers as well as the development of a wide range of new observational techniques and facilities. Based on their lectures given at the 31st Saas-Fee Advanced Course, Andreas Quirrenbach, Tristan Guillot and Pat Cassen have written up up-to-date comprehensive lecture notes on the "Detection and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets", "Physics of Substellar Objects Interiors, Atmospheres, Evolution" and "Protostellar Disks and Planet Formation". This book will serve graduate students, lecturers and scientists entering the field of extrasolar planets as detailed and comprehensive introduction.
