UnverifiedAstronomers detect exoplanets primarily through two indirect methods: the transit method and the radial velocity method.80% similarUnverifiedCurrent mainstream detection methods are most sensitive to close-in, massive, short-period planets, and have limited detection capability for Earth-like planets, long-period planets and distant systems.78% similarUnverifiedProfessional teams typically use radial velocity measurements to independently confirm transit signals, as a genuine planet exerts a gravitational pull on its host star causing a Doppler shift in the spectrum while false-positive sources do not—a step that is beyond the scope of AI coding tool assistance.68% similar
