Abstract:
The subject of exoplanets has been a rapidly developing discipline in the past thirty years. Its main research content and objectives include: detecting exoplanets through the development of various detection techniques, analyzing planetary orbits, composition and atmospheric properties, evaluating the habitability of planets, calculating the distribution patterns of planets, and revealing the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems from both theoretical and observational perspectives. The study of exoplanets is of great significance in answering questions about the existence of other life forms in the universe and the status of humans in the universe. With the development of space exploration technology in the 21st century, the study of exoplanets has entered a new era. This article summarizes the development trend in the field of exoplanets, condenses China's key areas for future space exploration of exoplanets, optimizes the discipline layout, and promotes high-quality development of exoplanet research.
