Planets Beyond the Solar System and the Next Generation of Space Missions Workshop

A workshop to bring together scientists searching for extrasolar planets with those planning a new generation of space instrumentation. The program will include:

New programs for the detection and study of planets (interferometry, photometry, microlensing).
Recent progress in the search for extrasolar planets (radial velocity and astrometric programs, direct imaging).
The astrophysical context of planet detection (proto-planetary disks, low-mass companions to stars, models of planet formation, astrophysical limits to the techniques).
Spinoffs and benefits of planet detection programs and contributions of these programs to understanding planet formation and evolution (astrophysics using small-field interferometry, NGST).
