2009 Symposium

First International Corot Symposium

in Paris, February 2nd – 5th, 2009

"The Corot space mission, launched on December 27th 2006, has been developped and is operated by CNES, with the contribution of Austria, Belgium, Brasil , ESA, Germany and Spain."

This meeting will be mainly devoted to the presentation of the first scientific results based on the Corot data released in 2007 and 2008, as well as future developments.

There will be a description of the properties of the instrument in flight and its performances. In addition to stellar seismology and exoplanet detection, the scientific fields will cover stellar activity, stellar rotation, binary systems...

Theoretical contributions concerning all these topics are also welcome. Future projects adressing the study of the formation and evolution of the star-planets systems will be discussed extensively.
