Question
The figure above (not to scale) shows four identical sun-like stars, each with a single planet in a circular orbit. Each picture shows the mass of the planet compared to Jupiter's mass (MJ), and the orbital radius compared to the Earth-Sun distance (1 AU). Use this figure to answer the next TWO questions. Using the figure above, which of these exoplanets would be EASIEST to detect using the Doppler detection method? (i.e. Which would produce the largest "wobble" in the star?)
