My dear #astrotwitter colleagues, may I ask for your infinite wisdom? I am compiling a list of #exoplanet literature resources for students. What are some of your favourite textbooks and review papers of the past years?
Well, let me start with some of mine:
Seager, S., Exoplanets (1st Edition). Arizona, USA. The University of Arizona Press, 2011. ISBN-13: 978-0816529452
How I learned it; A comprehensive overview of the entire field; chapters written by topic experts; but now 11 years old
Perryman, M., The Exoplanet Handbook (2nd Edition). Cambridge, UK. Cambridge University Press, 2018. ISBN-13: 978-1108419772
Similar to "Exoplanets" but with a different twist; profits from the updated 2nd Edition
Armitage P. J., 2017, Lecture notes on the formation and early evolution of planetary systems. arXiv:astro-ph/0701485
Probably still one of the most current overviews of formation and evolution
Madhusudhan, N., 2019, Exoplanetary Atmospheres: Key Insights, Challenges and Prospects. Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 57, 617-663
Great and timely update to prior atmosphere reviews
Wordsworth, R. & Kreidberg, L., 2022, Atmospheres of Rocky Exoplanets, Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 60
Brand-new, very focused deep dive into a specific aspect
Kaltenegger, L., How to Characterize Habitable Worlds and Signs of Life, Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 55, 433-485
A broader dive from exoplanets into astrobiology
