Abstract

We discuss the properties of extrasolar planets inferred fromobservations and theoretical models. We show that COROT should be ableto usefully constrain the albedos of extrasolar planets with shortorbital periods, given levels of stellar variability close to that ofthe Sun. We sketch possible strategies for observational astrophysicalprograms using high contrast imaging.
