• Super-EarthRelated: The star's wobble can reveal a super-Earth's minimum mass.

• Alpha CentauriRelated: It revealed the gravitational signal used to discover Proxima Centauri b.

• Red dwarfRelated: A planet can induce a detectable wobble in a low-mass red dwarf.

• Gas giantRelated: It established the masses of many gas giants orbiting other stars.

• OrbitRelated: A companion’s orbit produces measurable back-and-forth motion in its star.

• Proxima CentauriRelated: This method revealed the recurring stellar wobble associated with Proxima b.

• TRAPPIST-1Related: It complements transit measurements, although TRAPPIST-1’s faintness makes this method difficult.

• StarRelated: A planet’s gravity makes its star move slightly toward and away from Earth.

• Stellar activityRelated: Activity-driven line shifts can imitate or obscure a planet’s gravitational signal.

• Terrestrial planetRelated: It estimates planetary masses, helping assess whether distant planets may be rocky.

• 51 Pegasi bRelated: Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz detected 51 Pegasi b through its host star’s repeating Doppler shifts.

• Kepler's third lawRelated: The measured period helps infer the planet's orbit and, with stellar mass, its semimajor axis.

• Astronomical observationRelated: It detects a planet’s gravitational tug on its host star.

• HD 209458 bRelated: Radial-velocity measurements identified the planet before its transit was observed.

• Planetary massRelated: A planet’s gravitational pull makes its star wobble, revealing a minimum mass.

• Planetary orbitRelated: The orbit sets the timing and amplitude of the star’s measured wobble.

• Planetary radiusRelated: Combined with transit radii, its mass estimates support density calculations.

• Planetary-mass objectRelated: It measures the minimum mass of many star-bound planetary-mass objects.

• Proxima Centauri bRelated: Proxima Centauri b was detected through the small periodic motion it induces in its host star.

• Stellar orbitRelated: Spectral shifts can trace a star’s line-of-sight orbital motion.

• TESSRelated: Radial-velocity follow-up can confirm TESS candidates and measure their masses.

• Exoplanet detectionRelated: The star’s reflex motion supplies evidence independent of a transit.

• Didier QuelozRelated: Queloz used this method to detect 51 Pegasi's motion toward and away from Earth.

• Earth analogRelated: Stellar wobble can constrain a transiting planet's mass and therefore its density.
