This talk will present the various methods used for the detection and  

characterization of the currently know extra-solar (exoplanet)  

population. We will see the assets and limitations of these methods  

which provide complementary information one to another. We will discuss  

the state-of-the art results on the observed distribution of planet  

radii and masses, orbital distances, and their occurrence around  

different type of stars and what we know on the main physical  

properties of these new worlds.
