Detecting Exoplanets with Radial Velocity and Transit Methods: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive comparative analysis of two prominent methods for detecting exoplanets: the Radial Velocity (RV) method and the Transit Photometry method. These methods have significantly contributed to the discovery and characterization of exoplanets, expanding our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own. This study examines the principles, advantages, limitations, and notable discoveries associated with each method. It also discusses the technological advancements and future prospects in exoplanet detection.
