Difference between 6 Lyncis b and Methods of detecting exoplanets

6 Lyncis b vs. Methods of detecting exoplanets

6 Lyncis b (abbreviated 6 Lyn b) is an extrasolar planet orbiting the K-type subgiant star 6 Lyncis which is approximately 182 light years away in the Lynx constellation. Any planet is an extremely faint light source compared to its parent star.

Similarities between 6 Lyncis b and Methods of detecting exoplanets
