  2. Doppler spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_spectroscopy

    Doppler spectroscopy (also known as the radial-velocity method, or colloquially, the wobble method) is an indirect method for finding extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs from radial-velocity measurements via observation of Doppler shifts in the spectrum of the planet's parent star. As of November 2022, about 19.5% of known extrasolar planets ...

  3. Minimum mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_mass

    Minimum mass is a widely cited statistic for extrasolar planets detected by the radial velocity method or Doppler spectroscopy, and is determined using the binary mass function. This method reveals planets by measuring changes in the movement of stars in the line-of-sight , so the real orbital inclinations and true masses of the planets are ...

  4. Methods of detecting exoplanets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_detecting_exo...

    Properties (mass and radius) of planets discovered using the transit method, compared with the distribution, n (light gray bar chart), of minimum masses of transiting and non-transiting exoplanets. Super-Earths are black. The main advantage of the transit method is that the size of the planet can be determined from the light curve.

  5. Doppler imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_imaging

    Doppler imaging was first used to map chemical peculiarities on the surface of Ap stars.For mapping starspots it was first used by Steven Vogt and Donald Penrod in 1983, when they demonstrated that signatures of starspots were observable in the line profiles of the active binary star HR 1099 (V711 Tau); from this they could derive an image of the stellar surface.

  6. Binary mass function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_mass_function

    This is the radial velocity method of detecting exoplanets. [ 5 ] [ 3 ] Using the mass function and the radial velocity of the host star, the minimum mass of an exoplanet can be determined. [ 15 ] [ 16 ] : 9 [ 12 ] [ 17 ] Applying this method on Proxima Centauri , the closest star to the solar system, led to the discovery of Proxima Centauri b ...

  7. Transcranial Doppler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_Doppler

    The method was first described by Philip Njemanze in 2007, and was referred to as functional transcranial Doppler spectroscopy (fTCDS). [ 25 ] fTCDS examines spectral density estimates of periodic processes induced during mental tasks, and hence offers a much more comprehensive picture of changes related to effects of a given mental stimulus.

    Lin-Manuel Miranda is "still surprised" that "We Don't Talk About Bruno" was the runaway hit from Encanto.That's why he's hesitant to guess what could be the fan-favorite song from Mufasa: The ...

  9. Spectral line shape - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_shape

    Absorption spectrum of an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate.The spectrum consists of a series of overlapping lines belonging to a vibronic progression. Spectral line shape or spectral line profile describes the form of an electromagnetic spectrum in the vicinity of a spectral line – a region of stronger or weaker intensity in the spectrum.
