SUMMARY:Observing Planetary Transits with GTC
DESCRIPTION:Observing Planetary Transits with GTC\nMr. Felipe Murgas\n\nSo 
 far more than 800 planets have been discovered and their  characterization
  is becoming more important. Transiting planets offer  the unique opportun
 ity of detecting planetary atmospheres, helping to  improve the theoretica
 l models of atmospheric composition under  different physical parameters (
 densities, irradiation, etc). However,  the precision needed to detect ato
 ms and molecules, requires big  telescopes and stable instruments in order
  to obtain a good  signal-to-noise. In this talk I'll review the efforts, 
 technical  challenges and current results that our group of Planets and Lo
 w Mass  stars is obtaining using GTC to study extra-solar planets.
