By Dave Prosper Astronomers have been trying to discover evidence that worlds exist around stars other than our Sun since the ...

The discovery was reported April 4 on the pre-print server arXiv. The radial velocity (RV) method of detecting an exoplanet is based on the detection of variations in the velocity of the central ...

A new study released on Thursday describes a search for what are called "microlensing" events, where a planet acts as a ...

Dr Ian Whittaker from Nottingham Trent University explains the science behind new study which claims to have spotted ...

STEP 2: Next, players use the radial velocity method to measure how much the planets ... If they’re looking to get an up-close view of a particular exoplanet, players can open the Star-View ...

The rate of exoplanet discovery has since climbed ... By combining information from radial velocity and transit methods, for instance, astronomers will be able to determine the compositions ...

an exoplanet between Earth and Neptune in size, finding evidence that it could be a giant rocky planet shrouded in a thick, hot atmosphere. TOI-270 ... Using the radial velocity method ...

An observational tango has thus emerged between the two methods. The transit method generates a large number of “candidates”, ...
