In a exoplanet focused lecture I was informed that the two main techniques for the detection of exoplanets were: radial velocity (VR) and transit. These were very briefly explained to us.
When watching a presentation by Dr. Bender, it is stated that the RV technique was the most prominent technique up to the late 00's, but at around 2010 there was a "Wide-Field Precision Photometry Revolution", which was characterized by its fainter limiting magnitude.
Is the transit technique categorised as one of the techniques in this wide-field precision photometry revolution?
