Reorganize concept: Magnetospheric radio emissions [Exoplanets], submitted by Baptiste Cecconi (IVOA Semantics Group) 7/17/2016 #35

...the term "Magnetospheric radio emissions [Exoplanets]" [..] is presented as a narrower term than "Gravitational microlensing [Exoplanets]". I can't really understand on what ground that link was made. My suggestion would be that there is a "Magnetospheric radio emissions" (outside the exoplanet context), as those radio emissions are observed and studied since the 50's... while exoplanetary radio emissions have not been detected yet.

To me they [magnetospheric radio emissions and gravitational microlensing] are both possible detection methods for exoplanets, but there is no apparent hierarchical link between them.

Magnetospheric radio emissions moved to be direct child of exoplanet detection methods, also child of astronomical techniques.
