ESP seminar is a monthly seminar about extrasolar planets hosted by NAOJ, Tokyo Tech, JAXA and Tokyo Univ,. We are working on the formation of solar/extra-solar planets with both of theoretical and observational methods. Since 1995, we have found more than 300 extrasplar planets with various methods, such as Doppler method or transiting method. The progress of the detection of extrasolar planets has been made day by day, so that it is indispensable for us to catch up resent research. We have built this seminar group in order to cover new results of both of observational and theoretical research.(figure:An image of extrasolar planet, [credit:NASA, ESA, and G.
