Other chemicals such as acetylene (not previously detected on any exoplanet) may also be present.
Consequently, most exoplanets found by radial velocity have true masses no more than 70% greater than their minimum masses.
For this reason, most exoplanets have been detected with indirect methods.
Transport of ionizing radiation in terrestrial-like exoplanet atmospheres.
However, even with several groups working for the past few years, there has yet to be a confirmed exoplanet discovery resulting from a transit search.
The presently known exoplanet eccentricities are compatible with this theoretical prediction.
Results from simulations modelling the coronographic performance and exoplanet detection probability will be presented.
A year later, this detection was confirmed as the first picture of an exoplanet ever recorded.
