ABSTRACT

Stars and Planets: more from MOST

Photometric measurements - both optical and infrared, have provided us in the past year with extraordinary data on extrasolar planets and their parent stars.  I'll review some of the theoretical implications and what the future can bring, given the ultra-precise
optical photometry now delivered by a space telescope called MOST.
