AB  - Characterization studies now have a dominant role in the field of exoplanets. 
      Such studies include the measurement of an exoplanet's bulk density, its 
      brightness temperature and the chemical composition of its atmosphere. The use of 
      space telescopes has played a key part in the characterization of transiting 
      exoplanets. These facilities offer astronomers data of exquisite precision and 
      temporal sampling as well as access to wavelength regions of the electromagnetic 
      spectrum that are inaccessible from the ground. Space missions such as the Hubble 
      Space Telescope, Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars (MOST), Spitzer Space 
      Telescope, Convection, Rotation and Planetary Transits (CoRoT), and Kepler have 
      rapidly advanced our knowledge of the physical properties of exoplanets and have 
      blazed a trail for a series of future space missions that will help us to 
      understand the observed diversity of exoplanets.
