New exciting discovery of a planet orbiting one of Solar closest neighborhoods

help me checking and adding this tiny exoplanet to that list "relevant source, for example:https://www.space.com/barnards-star-exoplanet-sub-earth" 2402:800:639D:EDC3:AD26:5185:B3A8:AE27 (talk) 13:57, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done✅ 2402:800:639D:EDC3:140B:4D56:1298:6318 (talk) 06:56, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

imo, the original paper-source is much better than most press coverage-articles 2402:800:639D:EDC3:140B:4D56:1298:6318 (talk) 06:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Astrometry Year

2024 was indeed the best year so far for astrometry. Six planets were discovered using this method, while in 2023 none and 2022 only one. We also have promising candidates, such as Luyten 726-8 b. Futher, a recent study found evidence for planets in 9,698 planets using astrometry, if half of these planets really exist, then there would be 4,900 stars with planets discovered using this method. 21 Andromedae (talk) 17:45, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's right - most of these planets were discovered by a combination of astrometry and radial velocity, with the NASA Exoplanet Archive listing radial velocity as the discovery method, which is also the case for several exoplanets discovered in the previous two years. In fact the two planets for which the Exoplanet Archive lists astrometry as the discovery method were discovered in 2022 and 2023, but are missing from those lists.

I agree, I was euphoric with this method and I didn't know that planets were missing from the lists. I still feel it's promising, as astrometry helps confirm planets discovered only through radial velocity and vice versa. 21 Andromedae (talk) 22:38, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
