Exoplanet Detection: The Radial Velocity Method Description

Exoplanet Detection: The Radial Velocity Method is a handy, Java based application specially designed to simulate the detection of exoplanets by using the radial velocity method and the Doppler effect. In this simulation the exoplanet orbits the star (sun-sized) in circular motion via Kepler's third law. The radial velocity of the star is determined from the velocity of the exoplanet. This velocity is then used to calculate the Doppler shift of the Fraunhofer lines of the star.
