From the web pages referenced:

"Red dwarfs are ideal targets for the search for such planets because
they emit less light, and the habitable zone is thus much closer
to them than it is around the Sun," said Xavier Bonfils, a
co-researcher from Lisbon University. Planets near a star are easier
to detect because their gravitational pull affects the parent star
noticeably, inducing something of a wiggling motion.

Spot the mistake. The author of this article knows nothing about
barycentres. It always concerns me when you see a mistake such as
this as it implies the author simply doesn't understand the material
rather than has simply made a careless error.
