Abstract

The physical bases of the detection and characterisation of extrasolar\nplanets in the reflected light and thermal emission regimes are reviewed. They\nboth have their advantages and disadvantages, including artefacts, in the\ndetermination of planet physical parameters (mass, size, albedo, surface and\natmospheric conditions etc. A special attention is paid for Earth-like planets\nand new perspectives for these different aspects are also presented.\n
