<P> An additional system, GJ 758, was imaged in November 2009, by a team using the HiCIAO instrument of the Subaru Telescope, but it was a brown dwarf . </P> <P> Other possible exoplanets to have been directly imaged include GQ Lupi b, AB Pictoris b, and SCR 1845 b . As of March 2006, none have been confirmed as planets; instead, they might themselves be small brown dwarfs . </P> <P> Some projects to equip telescopes with planet - imaging - capable instruments include the ground - based telescopes Gemini Planet Imager, VLT - SPHERE, Subaru - HiCIAO, Palomar Project 1640, and the space telescope WFIRST - AFTA . The New Worlds Mission proposes a large occulter in space designed to block the light of nearby stars in order to observe their orbiting planets . This could be used with existing, already planned or new, purpose - built, telescopes . </P> <P> In 2010, a team from NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory demonstrated that a vortex coronagraph could enable small scopes to directly image planets . They did this by imaging the previously imaged HR 8799 planets, using just a 1.5 meter - wide portion of the Hale Telescope . </P>

One method for discovering exoplanets is the radial velocity method. what best describes this method
