One method for detecting them uses the equation sin i times a over c times M sub p over M sub star.
One method for detecting them uses the equation sin i times a over c times M sub p over M sub star. That equation gives the maximum amplitude of the delay time and is used with pulsars. Although not an eclipsing binary, the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect is observed due to these entities. The first one of these was found by Mayor and Queloz. The HARPS instrument uses the radial velocity method to detect these objects by measuring very small shifts in the spectrum of a star due to the Doppler effect. Of those known, TrES-2b has the lowest known albedo, which was measured by Kepler. These objects can be detected by looking for dips in the relative brightness of a star in the transit photometry method. The Gliese 581 system is under intense scrutiny in the search for habitable ones. For 10 points, give this term for planets orbiting a star that isn't the Sun.
