We are biased towards finding planets nearby their parent stars in transit searches, because planets with smaller orbital radii have shorter periods. We ...

... Detecting Extrasolar Planets Since then, we’ve confirmed the discovery of over 1,500 3,400 planets orbiting around other stars. But how do we detect them? We have 3 methods: - Spectroscopy (red and blueshift like how we detect binary stars.) - Transit (when the planet goes in front of the star, dim ...
