Another cool thing is that this technique is biased towards planets far from their star, because it is easier to see a planet the further away from their bright star. In contrast, current techniques are biased towards close-in planets. Both Doppler-shift and light-curve methods tend to detect close-in planets. We’ll get a better idea of the distribution of planets with both techniques.
