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.

Direct confirmation of the radial-velocity planetβPictoris c [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context.Methods used to detect giant exoplanets can be broadly divided into two categories: indirect and direct. Indirect methods are more sensitive to planets with a small orbital period, whereas direct detection is more sensitive to planets orbiting at

Three years of HARPS-N high-resolution spectroscopy and precise radial velocity data for the Sun [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context. The solar telescope connected to HARPS-N has been observing the Sun since the summer of 2015. Such a high-cadence, long-baseline data set is crucial for understanding spurious radial-velocity signals induced by our Sun and by the instrument.
