These objects can be observed using small shifts in radial velocity, or by observing periodic (*) dimming events using the "transit" method.
One of these objects unofficially named Bellerophon was discovered in 1995 using the pulsar timing method by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz. These objects can be observed using small shifts in radial velocity, or by observing periodic (*) dimming events using the "transit" method. Examples of these objects include 51 Pegasi b and Gliese 229 B, and their discovery is the main goal of the Kepler Mission. Ideally, these objects would lie in the Goldilocks zone, since they would then likely have liquid water and be habitable. For 10 points, name these bodies that orbit stars other than the Sun.
