Detection method
Eclipse Timing Variations
Finding planets from shifts in the eclipse times of a binary star.
Exoplanets
How it works
A circumbinary planet changes when the two stars of a binary eclipse each other, betraying its presence.
Strengths and limitations
Applies only to eclipsing binary systems.
