Question

One method for studying these objects often parametrizes their mass using their semi-amplitude. B. J. Fulton names a “gap” in the size (-5[1])distribution of these objects that may be caused by (-5[1])photoevaporation. The“Second Light” proposal aimed to stabilize a telescope that surveyed these objects and was later succeeded by TESS. The Roman Space Telescope will use (15[1])a (*) coronagraph to directly image these objects. (10[1]-5[2])The radial velocity method for identifying (10[1])these objects (10[2])is most effective (10[1])when they have (10[1])large masses and short orbital periods. (10[1])The Kepler telescope (10[1])detected (10[1])many of these (10[1])objects (10[2])by observing transits (10[1])across their parent stars. “Hot Jupiters” (10[1])and“Super-Earths” are classes of, for 10 points, what (10[1])objects (10[1])that orbit stars other than the Sun? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: exoplanets [or extrasolar planets; accept Super-Earths or Hot Jupiters before mentioned; prompt on planets]
