L’une des principales méthodes de détection indirecte est la méthode des transits qui consiste à détecter la légère baisse de luminosité lorsqu’une planète passe devant son étoile. Pionnier discret (et <anchor>archiviste des exoplanètes</anchor>), Jean Schneider 3 suggère dès 1988 d’utiliser cette technique. « Au début, personne ne misait sur cette approche et on se rend compte maintenant que c’est vraiment une niche incroyable », précise François Bouchy. Elle est complétée par la méthode des vitesses radiales, utilisée par l’équipe de Michel Mayor pour 51 Peg b, qui se base sur le fait que planètes et étoiles tournent autour d’un centre de gravité commun. Ainsi, en présence d’une planète, l’étoile décrit des orbites très petites mais néanmoins décelables.

## Criteria for inclusion in the catalogue

### Physical criteria

The basic criterion is the mass limit: 60 Jupiter mass.

The former standard limits were13 Jupiter mass, based on the deuterium
burning limit, and 30 Jupitter mass, based on formation scenario. However, the
mass-density-radius distribution (Hatzes & Rauer, 2015) shows a clear
difference between giant planets and stars at 60 Jupier mass.

An additional difficulty comes from the uncertainty in the mass value. We
therefore allow for a 1 sigma uncertainty and chose 60 Mjup + 1 sigma as an
upper mass limit.

We thus finally include planets with masses < 60 Jup up to 1 sigma

### Confidence criteria

Are included planet detections published or submitted to professional
journals or announced by professional astronomers in professional conferences.

### Categories

There are 4 categories of planets, Confirmed, Candidate, Retracted and
Controversial. A planet is considered as Confirmed if it is claimed
unambiguously in an accepted paper or a professional conference.
