Abstract
Detection of other planetary systems is a demanding observational task that will require significant improvements in instrumentation. There are two general techniques by which other planetary systems can, in principle, be detected; these techniques will be referred to as either indirect or direct detection. Several independent observational methods fall under these general techniques, and we here compare and contrast alternative methods that are being considered for use in detecting other planetary systems.
