<p align="justify">In regard to the plans for future exoplanet research in Indonesia it is necessary to start a study of exoplanet observation methods. After searching for data resources, it is found several sets of data that can be used as material for analyzing the implementation of radial velocity method in complement with transit method. Those data were taken from observation with spectograph SOPHIE, CAFE, HIRES, and Kepler space observatory, as well from several papers concerning the results of previous analysis about the relevant objects. The data contains the radial velocity measurements, transit light curve, and physical and orbital parameters of exoplanets orbiting the object stars. These data were analyzed with Bayesian statistics using softwares Exofit and Transit Analysis Package (TAP). The result of the radial velocity analysis show a varying quality depending on data quality. The result give some estimates that can be used to fill some still-unknown parameters in the result of the previous analysises. The result of transit analysis tend to approach the previous results, with some difference caused by the complementation factor with radial velocity analysis.<p align="justify"> <br />
