Which of these pairs of exoplanet detection methods are MOST similar in the physical processes underlying the methods?
A) The transit duration time variation and eclipsing binary minima variation methods
B) The astrometric and transit photometry methods
C) The phase cycle brightness and radial velocity methods
D) The distorted disk and radial velocity methods

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transit duration time variation and eclipsing binary minima variation methods both rely on the observation of changes in the light curve as a result of objects passing in front of or behind a star, making them similar in the physical processes they utilize for detection.
