==The first== ==The first==
The choice of "first" depends on definition and confirmation, as below. The three systems detected prior to 1994 each have a drawback, with ] being unconfirmed until 2002; while the ] planets orbit a pulsar. This leaves ] (discovered and confirmed 1995) as the first confirmed exoplanet around a normal star.

This is a list of exoplanet discoveries that were the first by several criteria, including:

and others.

The first

The choice of "first" depends on definition and confirmation, as below. The three systems detected prior to 1994 each have a drawback, with Gamma Cephei b being unconfirmed until 2002; while the PSR B1257+12 planets orbit a pulsar. This leaves 51 Pegasi b (discovered and confirmed 1995) as the first confirmed exoplanet around a normal star.

First Planet Star Year Notes
First detected exoplanet later confirmed Gamma Cephei Ab Gamma Cephei 1988 (suspected), 2002 (confirmed) First evidence for exoplanet to receive later confirmation.
First exoplanets to be confirmed PSR B1257+12 B
PSR B1257+12 C 		PSR B1257+12 1992 First super-Earths.

These exoplanets orbit a pulsar.

First confirmed exoplanet around normal star 51 Pegasi b 51 Pegasi 1995 First convincing exoplanet discovered around a Sun-like star. While the minimum mass of HD 114762 b was high enough (11 Jupiter-masses) that it could be a brown dwarf, 51 Peg b's minimum mass meant that it almost certainly was near the mass of Jupiter.

By discovery method

First discovery by a method
Discovery method Planet Star Year Notes
First planet discovered via pulsar timing PSR B1257+12 B
PSR B1257+12 C 		PSR B1257+12 1992 First super-earths.
First planet discovered via radial velocity 51 Pegasi b 51 Pegasi 1995 First convincing exoplanet discovered around a Sun-like star. While the minimum mass of HD 114762 b was high enough (11 Jupiter-masses) that it could be a brown dwarf, 51 Peg b's minimum mass meant that it almost certainly was near the mass of Jupiter.
First planet discovered via transit OGLE-TR-56 b OGLE-TR-56 2002 This was also the second planet detected through transiting, and the then farthest planet known at time of discovery. The first extrasolar planet detected to be transiting was HD 209458 b, which had already been discovered by the radial velocity method.
First planet discovered via gravitational lensing OGLE-2003-BLG-235L b OGLE-2003-BLG-235L / MOA-2003-BLG-53L 2004 This was discovered independently by the OGLE and MOA teams.
First exoplanet discovered by directly imaging the extrasolar planet 2M1207 b 2M1207 2004/

2005

May be a brown dwarf instead of a planet, depending on formation mechanism and definitions chosen.
First planet discovered through variable star timing V391 Pegasi b V391 Pegasi 2007 The planet was discovered by examining deviations from pulsation frequency from a subdwarf star.
First extrasolar planet discovered by indirect imaging (visible light) Fomalhaut b Fomalhaut 2008 Discovered by a light reflecting off of a dust cloud surrounding the planet. First planet orbiting an ABO star. In 2020 this object was determined to be an expanding debris cloud from a collision of asteroids rather than a planet.
First extrasolar planet discovered by astrometric observations HD 176051 b HD 176051 A or HD 176051 B 2010 Orbits around one of the stars in a binary star system although it is not known which component it is orbiting around.
First exoplanet discovered by orbital perturbations of another planet Kepler-19c Kepler-19 (KOI-84, TYC 3134-1549-1) 2011 Detected through transit-timing variation method. Its existence was inferred by the gravitational influence it had on the orbital periodicity of Kepler-19b.
First exoplanets discovered by orbital phase reflected light variations Kepler-70b, Kepler-70c Kepler-70 2011 Now dubious.
First exoplanet discovered by transit-duration variation method Kepler-88c Kepler-88 (KOI-142) 2013 Both transit timing variation and transit-duration variation was measured to measure deviations from the regular orbit of Kepler-88b. Deviations of the planet's transit duration and timing helped to discover Kepler-88c.

By detection method

Some of these planets had already been discovered by another method but were the first to be detected by the listed method.

First detection by a method
Detection method Planet Star Year Notes
First planet detected via radial velocity Gamma Cephei Ab Gamma Cephei 1988 First evidence for exoplanet to receive later confirmation.
First planet detected via pulsar timing PSR B1257+12 B
PSR B1257+12 C 		PSR B1257+12 1992
First planet detected by transit method HD 209458 b HD 209458 1999 This first exoplanet found to be transiting had already been discovered by the radial velocity method. This is also the first planet that has been detected through more than one method.
First directly imaged extrasolar planet (infrared) 2M1207 b 2M1207 2004/ 2005 May be a sub-brown dwarf instead of a planet, depending on formation mechanism and definitions chosen. If it is a planet, it is the first known planet around a brown dwarf.
First directly imaged extrasolar planet orbiting a 'normal' star (infrared) DH Tauri b DH Tauri 2005 Revised masses place it below the deuterium-burning limit. May be a brown dwarf companion.

DH Tauri b and GQ Lupi b were confirmed as companions within about three month in 2005. Both could be brown dwarfs. If one is a planet, it is the first planet orbiting a 'normal' star, possibly the first exoplanet directly imaged.

First directly imaged extrasolar planet orbiting a sun-like star (infrared) AB Pictoris b AB Pictoris 2005 It has 10±1 MJ.

GQ Lupi b was found earlier. May, however, be a brown dwarf companion.

1RXS J160929.1−210524 b was found later. Revised mass places it at or above the deuterium-burning limit. May be a sub-brown dwarf instead of a planet, depending on formation mechanism and definitions chosen. The orbital status of the companion was confirmed in 2010.

First planet with observed secondary eclipse (infrared) HD 209458 b HD 209458 2005 Planet was discovered in 1999. This is the first detection of light from an object with a clear planetary origin.
First planet characterized by atmospheric spectroscopy HD 209458 b HD 209458 2007 also by HD 189733 b was characterized spectroscopically only few month later.

Any of the earlier Direct imaging exoplanets, e.g. 2M1207 b, DH Tauri b or GQ Lupi b have spatially resolved spectroscopic observations, but the objects need confirmation to be of planetary origin.

First planets directly characterized through astrometric observations Gliese 876 b and Gliese 876 c Gliese 876 2009
First planet detected by orbital phase reflected light variations in visible light CoRoT-1b CoRoT-1 2009 The planet in question had already been discovered with transit method.
First planet characterized by spatially resolved atmospheric spectroscopy HR 8799 c HR 8799 2010 Several spectra of Direct imaging exoplanets might be earlier, but the objects need confirmation to be of planetary origin. Especially AB Pictoris b is a candidate, if its mass is confirmed to be 10±1 MJ.
First planets detected through ellipsoidal light variations of the host star HAT-P-7b HAT-P-7 2010
First planets detected through transit timing variation method Kepler-9b, Kepler-9c Kepler-9 2010 Transit-timing variation was used to confirm both planets detected through transit method.
First planet detected through transit duration variation method Kepler-16b Kepler-16 2011 Orbital motion of the three-body system Kepler-16 causes variations of the duration of stellar eclipses and planetary transits.
First planet detected with eclipsing binary timing with well-characterized orbit Kepler-16b Kepler-16 2011 Kepler-16b itself was detected through transit method. There are stars with earlier detections through eclipsing binary timing. However, either those signals have matched with unstable orbits or the exact orbits are not known.
First planet detected by light variations due to relativistic beaming TrES-2b TrES-2A 2012
First tilted multi-planetary system discovered Kepler-56b, c and d Kepler-56 2013
First extrasolar planet detected through polarimetry DH Tauri b /

GSC 6214-210 b

DH Tauri /

GSC 6214-210

2021 "polarization of several tenths of a percent for DH Tau B and GSC 6214-210 B in H-band" ... "unlikely to be caused by interstellar dust." ... "the polarization most likely originates from circumsubstellar disks." Both companions may be brown dwarfs or exoplanets.

Polarized scattered light was found for HD 189733 b in 2008. It could not be confirmed and was disputed by two separate teams. Possibly a "Saharan dust event over the La Palma observatory in 2008 August". HD 189733 b was discovered in 2005.

First super-Earth discovered PSR B1257+12 B
PSR B1257+12 C 		PSR B1257+12 1992 First planets discovered.
First hot Jupiter 51 Pegasi b 51 Pegasi 1995 First planet discovered orbiting a main sequence star.
First evaporating planet discovered HD 209458 b HD 209458 1999 First transiting planet.
First "free-floating" planet discovered S Ori 68 — 2000 ~5 MJupiter Isolated status needs confirmation. Could be a companion of SE 70; needs confimation.

S Ori J053810.1-023626 (S Ori 70) has a mass of 3 MJupiter; needs confirmation.

First extrasolar terrestrial planet orbiting a main sequence star 55 Cancri e 55 Cancri 2004 Mu Arae c (discovered in 2004) has been proposed to be a terrestrial planet, but its terrestrial nature is not confirmed, as no radius measurements are available so the density is unknown. The minimum mass is comparable to that of Uranus, which is not a terrestrial planet. The first extrasolar planet found to have a density compatible with being a rocky planet is CoRoT-7b in 2009. 55 Cancri e was found to be a terrestrial planet in 2011.
First super-Earth orbiting a main sequence star Gliese 876 d Gliese 876 2005 Orbits a red dwarf star.
First icy extrasolar planet orbiting a main sequence star OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb OGLE-2005-BLG-390L 2006 Orbits a red dwarf star. The icy nature of this planet is not confirmed, as no radius measurements are available so the density is unknown. The first extrasolar planet known to have a density compatible with being an icy planet is GJ 1214 b, though even for this case there are other possibilities for the composition.
First ocean planet candidate; also first small planet within the circumstellar habitable zone Gliese 581d Gliese 581 2007 Orbits a red dwarf star. This planet orbits a little too far from the star, but the greenhouse effect would be enough to make this planet habitable. The other ocean planet candidate, GJ 1214 b, was detected by transit in which the density was calculated and determined that this planet is an ocean planet. Now disputed.
First Jupiter analogue HIP 11915 b HIP 11915 2015 The discovery raises the possibility that HIP 11915 will be the first Solar System analogue discovered.
