The 58 pages that link to Radial velocity method, each with the reason it gives.

• AstrometryCompared with: It measures motion along the line of sight, complementing astrometry’s measurements across the sky.

• Transit methodCompared with: It detects a star’s reflex motion rather than the starlight blocked by a planet.

• Light curveCompared with: Unlike a transit light curve, it detects a planet through the star's changing line-of-sight velocity.

• Direct imaging of exoplanetsCompared with: Unlike imaging, it detects a planet through its gravitational effect on the host star.

• Stellar kinematicsCompared with: It uses stellar radial velocities to infer orbiting planets rather than Galactic motion.

• Transmission spectroscopyCompared with: It establishes planetary masses through stellar motion, not atmospheric absorption during transit.

• Direct imagingCompared with: It detects a planet through its gravitational effect rather than separating its light from the star.

• Planetary transitCompared with: It measures a planet’s gravitational effect, complementing the size information from transits.

• Transit timing variationCompared with: Unlike timing variations, it measures the star’s reflex motion directly.

• Orbital migrationCompared with: It detects planets and constrains orbits rather than causing orbital migration.

• Kepler-186fCompared with: Unlike transit data, this method could constrain Kepler-186f’s mass, but a precise mass is not established.

• Kepler-452bCompared with: Unlike the transit data, this method could help measure Kepler-452b’s mass, which is not securely known.

• Kepler-442bCompared with: Unlike the transit detection, this method can estimate a planet’s mass through its gravitational effect on the star.

• K2-18bCompared with: Unlike transit photometry, it detects K2-18b through the gravitational wobble it induces in its star.
