Since Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz announced the discovery of the first extrasolar planet or exoplanet, in 1995, different research groups worldwide took up the hunt for planets orbiting nearby stars. Hundreds of exoplanets have been indirectly detected. Most have been discovered by
