Extrasolar Planets Found by Different Detection Methods

2 Extrasolar Planets Found by Different Detection Methods 

As of Mid of June 2010 in total 461 planets were found 1. Candidates detected by radial velocity or astrometry 369 planetary systems 

The Brown Dwari 2M1207 and its Planetary Companicn (VLT/NACO) 

Candidates detected by imaging 11 planetary systems, 13 planets, 1 multiple system. 

These data were extracted from the interactive data catalog of extrasolar planets (maintained by Jean Schneider (CNRS-LUTH, Paris Observatory)). There are also unconfirmed observations and so called cluster or free floating candidates for planets. Candidates for free floating planets are S Ori 68 (Mass 5 M/, distance 440 pc), S Ori 70 (Mass 3 My, tempCTature 1000 K, Radius 1.6 Ry, distance 440 pc) and Cha 110913 (Mass 8 My, T 1300 K, radius 1.8 Ry distance 50 pc. Further candidates are CAHA Taul, CAHA Tau2, p Oph 4450.
