Photometry as a proxy for stellar activity in radial velocity analyses [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2020 Stellar activity remains a limiting factor in measuring precise planet parameters from radial velocity spectroscopy, not least in the search for Earth mass planets orbiting in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars.

An Extreme-precision Radial-velocity Pipeline: First Radial Velocities from EXPRES [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2020 Abstract The EXtreme-PREcision Spectrograph (EXPRES) is an environmentally stabilized, fiber-fed, R = 137,500, optical spectrograph. It was recently commissioned at the 4.3 m Lowell Discovery Telescope near Flagstaff, Arizona. The spectrograph was designed with a target radial-velocity (RV) precision of 30 cm s−1.

Three years of Sun-as-a-star radial-velocity observations on the approach to solar minimum [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 The time-variable velocity fields of solar-type stars limit the precision of radial-velocity determinations of their planets’ masses, obstructing detection of Earth twins.

Long-lived, long-period radial velocity variations in Aldebaran: A planetary companion and stellar activity [PDF]
, 2015 We investigate the nature of the long-period radial velocity variations in Alpha Tau first reported over 20 years ago. We analyzed precise stellar radial velocity measurements for Alpha Tau spanning over 30 years.
