An authoritative primer on the four key techniques that today's planet hunters use to detect the feeble signals of planets orbiting distant stars.
"Johnson has woven the personal side of being a scientist with rigorous intuition about the techniques used to detect exoplanets. We hear the fresh and articulate voice of a young professor who grew into the shoes of a full-fledged scientist. Johnson's experiences and insights will touch the hearts and minds of readers."--Debra Fischer, Yale University
"With remarkable clarity, Johnson presents a concise yet personable, technical yet accessible must-read for all students and practitioners of exoplanet discovery."--Sara Seager, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
"How Do You Find an Exoplanet? is well focused on the fundamentals and accessible to a wide range of readers. Johnson is highly respected in the exoplanet community, and here he has emphasized what's important, while minimizing or explaining jargon. I know of no serious competitors to this book."--Eric B. Ford, Pennsylvania State University
"How Do You Find an Exoplanet? presents an engaging overview of modern exoplanetary detection techniques. John Johnson brings a firsthand narrative to this remarkable scientific detective story, while explaining the technical fine points at an accessible level."--Greg Laughlin, University of California, Santa Cruz
"The advances that have been made in planet detection are truly impressive and this account is an excellent survey of this exciting and rapidly advancing field."
---Frank Berkshire, Contemporary Physics
