exoplanetjakt
Exoplanetjakt, or exoplanet hunting, is the scientific endeavor to discover planets outside our solar system. These planets, known as exoplanets, orbit stars other than our Sun. The primary methods used in exoplanetjakt include the transit method, radial velocity method, and direct imaging.
The transit method involves observing the slight dimming of a star's light as an exoplanet passes in
The radial velocity method detects exoplanets by measuring the wobble in a star's motion caused by the
Direct imaging captures the light from exoplanets directly, which is challenging due to the overwhelming brightness
Exoplanetjakt has revealed a diverse range of exoplanets, including hot Jupiters, super-Earths, and even potentially habitable
