![Screenshot of a figure from Dr. Christiansen's slides. It is titled "NASA Exoplanet Archive". The x-axis reads "orbit semimajor axis [au]", and the y-axis reads "planet mass or mass*sin(i) [earth masses]." Each of the four main methods are highlighted, as explained in the article text. The figure also indicates what types of stars each method covers: FGKM field stars for transits, nearby/inactive FGKM stars for radial velocity, distant/low-mass stars for microlensing, and nearby young stars for direct imaging.](https://i0.wp.com/astrobites.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/FmDoT93WIAc0zD7.jpg?ssl=1)
