One method for studying these objects often parametrizes their mass using their semi-amplitude. B. J. Fulton names a “gap” in the size distribution of these objects that may be caused by 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 a (*) coronagraph to directly image these objects. The radial velocity method for identifying these objects is most effective when they have large masses and short orbital periods. The Kepler telescope detected many of these objects by observing transits across their parent stars. “Hot Jupiters” and“Super-Earths” are classes of, for 10 points, what objects that orbit stars other than the Sun? ■END■
ANSWER: exoplanets [or extrasolar planets; accept Super-Earths or Hot Jupiters before mentioned; prompt on planets]
