Planetary parameters are often directly dependent upon their stellar counterparts. In addition, the star is almost always the only visible component of the system and contains most of the system mass. Consequently, the parent star heavily influences every aspect of planetary physics and astrophysics. Drs. Kaspar von Braun and Tabetha Boyajian use direct methods to characterize exoplanet host starts that minimize the number of assumptions needed to be made in the process. The book provides a background on interferometric techniques for stellar diameter measurements, illustrates the authors' approach on using additional data to fully characterize the stars, provides a comprehensive update on the current state of the field, and examines in detail a number of historically significant and well-studied exoplanetary systems.SpringerBriefs in Astronomy,2191-9100Space sciencesPlanetologySpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030Planetologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18010Space sciences.Planetology.Space Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics).Planetology.523.24von Braun Kasparauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut861746Boyajian Tabethaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254579003321Extrasolar Planets and Their Host Stars1923086UNINA
