Abstract of the colloquium:

Extrasolar planets studies started with the discovery of 51Peg-b by Michel 
Mayor and Didier Queloz in 1995, based on observations performed at 
Observatoire de Haute Provence, France. As a tenth-anniversary celebration 
of this event, eighty astronomers met during a colloquium, the rich 
conclusions of which are summarised in this book. The main focuses of 
discussions were the nature, origin and evolution of extrasolar planets 
orbiting their star in extremely short periods: the so-called "Hot 
Jupiters." Most recent observational facts, theoretical advances and 
expectations from future observation facilities are included.
