How was the Saturn-like exoplanet TVLM513B discovered?

The Saturn-like exoplanet TVLM513B was discovered using a gravitational wobble detection method. Scientists observed a distinctive wobble in the motion of a small, cool star located approximately 35 light years from Earth, which indicated the presence of this giant planet orbiting around it. This detection represents a significant advancement in observational astronomy, as the wobble technique has traditionally been used primarily for identifying Jupiter-like planets. By successfully applying this method to detect a Saturn-like planet around a smaller star, astronomers have expanded our capabilities for identifying various types of exoplanets in distant star systems.
