Exoplanet studies have come a long way in a short time. To date, 5,523 exoplanets have been confirmed in 4,117 systems, with another 9,867 candidates awaiting confirmation.

Using radial velocity measurements, astronomers from Japan and China have detected a new exoplanet orbiting a G-type giant star. The newfound alien world is similar in mass to Jupiter but much ...

Endl has been spent 20 years using radial velocity to find exoplanets. “Today, the existence of exoplanets is no longer in doubt,” he says proudly.

Exoplanet of firsts: Artist’s impression of the exoplanet 51 Pegasi b (left) and its star. This was the first exoplanet to be discovered orbiting a main-sequence star (using radial velocity in 1995) ...

However, in this observation, the astronomers turned to the “radial velocity” method to measure the exoplanets’ mass. Mass is a key physical ingredient for understanding the physical ...

Thankfully, astronomers have developed a host of effective methods for finding them, so unfurl your map of the Milky Way and get ready to hunt some exoplanets. The Radial Velocity Method ...

32 New Exoplanets FoundToday, at an international ESO/CAUP exoplanet conference in Porto, Portugal, the team who built the High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher, better known as HARPS, the ...

The transit method for detecting exoplanets will be "demonstrated" for a wide public on June 8, 2004, when planet Venus passes in front of the solar disc, cf. the VT-2004 programme.
