The new planets were detected by measuring "radial velocity," or how fast a star wobbles depending on the gravitational pull from nearby planets.
新的行星是靠测量“径向速度”,或者恒星在周围行星的万有引力下摇摆的速度检测出来的。

Radial velocity, also known as the Doppler wobble technique, involves searching for wobbles in a star's light that indicate the gravitational pull of an orbiting planet.
This common method in the planet-hunting world, called radial velocity, requires extremely precise measurements to detect a planet's gravitational pull on a nearby star.
