Unfortunately, this only works for solar systems whose planetary planes happen to intersect the star from our point of view. Not very many, I'm afraid.

Still listening--this question just came up. The answer was: With planets orbiting this closely to the star, the odds are about 1 in 10.

More later...

        There is more than one technique used to detect a "wobble". - alcaray - 11/28/2001 5:26:25 PM
