Abstract

Since the first confirmed discovery of exoplanets in 1992, multiple observational methods have been developed. Most methods of their discovery use the influence of a planet on its host star. These methods lose sensitivity when a planet is distant from its star and has a long orbital period. This article proposes a method inspired by Hanbury-Brown Twiss (HBT) interferometry, to find exoplanets which exercise a very small influence on their host star. Our method relies on an extremely high sensitivity of the phase correlations to an asymmetry of the luminous system.
