In 1995 Queloz was a Ph.D. student at the University of Geneva when he and Michel Mayor, his doctoral advisor, discovered the first exoplanet around a main sequence star.[1] Queloz performed an analysis on 51 Pegasi using radial velocity measurements (Doppler spectroscopy), and was astonished to find a planet with an orbital period of 4.2 days. He had been performing the analysis as an exercise to hone his skills.[2] The planet, 51 Pegasi b, challenged the then accepted views of planetary formation, being a hot Jupiter or roaster. He has received the 2011 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award of Basic Sciences (co-winner with Michel Mayor) for developing new astronomical instruments and experimental techniques that led to the first observation of planets outside the solar system. In 2017 he received the Wolf Prize in Physics.[3] References1. ^{{cite news |last=Overbye |first=Dennis |authorlink=Dennis Overbye |title=Finder of New Worlds |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/13/science/finder-of-new-worlds.html |date=12 May 2013 |work=The New York Times |accessdate=13 May 2014 }} 2. ^{{cite journal | url= |author1=Mayor, Michael |author2=Queloz, Didier | title=A Jupiter-mass companion to a solar-type star | journal=Nature | volume=378 |issue=6555 |year=1995 | pages=355–359| doi=10.1038/378355a0| format= | bibcode=1995Natur.378..355M}} 3. ^Jerusalempost Wolf Prizes 2017 External links
