Sentences with phrase «first radial velocity»

That is why the first radial velocity planet (51 Peg), the first transiting planet (OGLE - TR - 056), the first microlensing planet (OGLE 2003 - BLG - 235L), and the first directly imaged planet (GQ Lupi b) were all Jupiter - like or larger.

We believe this was the first radial velocity detection of an extrasolar planet by amateurs.

The planet was found using the radial velocity method: Telescopes scrutinize a star's light to see if its frequency is periodically stretched and squeezed by the Doppler effect as the star is tugged, first away and then toward us, by an orbiting planet.

I. Performances of radial velocity measurements, first analyses of variations.

Abstract: Kepler - 10b was the first rocky planet detected by the Kepler satellite and con - firmed with radial velocity follow - up observations from Keck - HIRES.

When we first embarked on this project we were told unequivocally that precision radial velocity measurements were impossible at the amateur level and required the funding and resources of an institution.
