The next phase of exoplanet research is understanding the growing knowledge of the composition *and structure of both the atmosphere and interior of planets outside our solar system; are these *planets scaled down versions of Neptune or scaled versions of Earth? or of a completely different *nature? State of the art facilities available to the Canadian community will be used to measure the *mass, radius, atmosphere, incident flux, composition and evolution of transiting extrasolar planets. *The main objective of the program is to measure, compare and interpret fundamental properties of *extrasolar planets to determine the diversity of exoplanets.

系外行星研究的下一个阶段是了解太阳系外行星的大气层和内部的成分和结构的知识;这些行星是缩小版的海王星还是缩小版的地球？还是性质完全不同的？加拿大社区现有的最先进设施将用于测量凌日系外行星的 * 质量、半径、大气层、入射通量、组成和演变。该计划的主要目标是测量，比较和解释太阳系外行星的基本属性，以确定系外行星的多样性。
