The Nobel Prize in Physics 2019. Exoplanets
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 2019 to James Peebles who set foundations of modern cosmology and Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz who detected the first exoplanet orbiting solar type star and pioneered the new area of modern astrophysics - studies of extrasolar planets. The historical quest for exoworlds, the contribution of the Nobel Prize laureates to this rapidly developing field, methods how astronomers find exoplanets as well as future prospects for the exoplanet field will be presented.
