摘要: Started approximately in the late 1980s, exoplanetology has up to now unveiled main gross bulk characteristics of planets and planetary systems. In future it will benefit from more large telescopes advanced space missions. These instruments dramatically improve their performance terms photometric precision, detection speed, multipixel imaging, high-resolution spectroscopy, allowing go much deeper knowledge planets. Here we outline some science questions which should beyond these standard improvements how address them. Our prejudice is that one never too speculative: experience shows speculative predictions initially not accepted by community have been confirmed several years later (like spectrophotometry transits or circumbinary planets).
