Sentences with phrase «velocity measurements confirm»
High - precision radial - velocity measurements confirm a sinusoidal variation with the period and phase predicted by the photometry, and rule out the presence of line - bisector variations that would indicate that the spectroscopic orbit is spurious.

Kepler 18 - b, c, and d: A System Of Three Planets Confirmed by Transit Timing Variations, Lightcurve Validation, Spitzer Photometry and Radial Velocity Measurements
