Strategy for the Detection and Study of Other Planetary Systems and Extrasolar Planetary Materials: 1990-2000

Series:

This volume addresses a new opportunity in the planetary sciences--to extend our exploration outward to discover and study planetary systems that may have formed or are forming around other stars. It concludes that a coordinated program of astronomical observation, laboratory research, theoretical development, and understanding of the dynamics and origins of whatever may be found would be a techno
