Post by: hermiz on Sep 10, 2017
What is a major limitation in the Doppler method for detecting extrasolar planets?
A) it is better at finding massive planets like Jupiter rather than small planets like the Earth
B) it is best suited to finding planets which orbit relatively close to their star
C) it requires the use of fairly large telescopes and long exposures which limits the number of star that can be studied
D) all of these are major limitations
