The fascinating diversity in the properties of extrasolar planets and planetary systems, compared to those of the Solar System, has challenged our understanding of planetary formation and evolution. The interior of a planet holds traces of its history, and is thereby the present witness of the processes involved during its formation and evolution. The Love numbers, introduced by A.E.H. Love in 1911, are parameters holding precious information on a planetary structure and composition. While these parameters have been measured for several Solar System bodies, previous studies did not decidedly answer the question whether they can be estimated for extrasolar planets. To that end, I have developed a computer code which retrieves the Love number...
