The Pathfinder testbed: exploring techniques for achieving precision radial velocities in the near infrared [PDF]
The Penn State Pathfinder is a prototype warm fiber-fed Echelle spectrograph with a Hawaii-1 NIR detector that has already demonstrated 7-10 m/s radial velocity precision on integrated sunlight. The Pathfinder testbed was initially setup for the Gemini PRVS design study to enable a systematic exploration of the challenges of achieving high radial ...

Search for exoplanets with the radial-velocity technique: quantitative diagnostics of stellar activity [PDF]
Aims: Stellar activity may complicate the analysis of high-precision radial-velocity spectroscopic data when looking for exoplanets signatures. We aim at quantifying the impact of stellar spots on stars with various spectral types and rotational velocities and comparing the simulations with data obtained with the HARPS spectrograph.

Search for Large Radial Velocities in Direction of NGP Using the Fehrenbach Techniques [PDF]
The Observatory of Strasbourg will participate in the future in the general radial velocity survey which is in hand at the Observatories of Haute-Provence and of Marseille with FEHRENBACH’s Objective-prism astrograph. A programme of this type, providing a large number of data, is particularly suitable at the place where the “Data Center” is growing up ...

Detectability of quasi-circular co-orbital planets. Application to the radial velocity technique [PDF]
Several celestial bodies in co-orbital configurations exist in the solar system. However, co-orbital exoplanets have not yet been discovered. This lack may result from a degeneracy between the signal induced by co-orbital planets and other orbital configurations.

Consistent radial velocities of classical Cepheids from the cross-correlation technique [PDF]
Context. Accurate radial velocities (vrad) of Cepheids are mandatory within the context of Cepheid distance measurements using the Baade-Wesselink technique. The most common vrad derivation method consists in cross-correlating the observed stellar spectra with a binary template and measuring a velocity on the resulting mean profile.

Radial velocity technique [PDF]
The precise Doppler method for measuring stellar radial velocities (RV) is a fundamental technique in modern astronomy. This method records a star's spectrum and detects periodic Doppler shifts in its spectral features, which indicate the gravitational influences induced by orbiting companions.

Detection of Planetary and Stellar Companions to Neighboring Stars via a Combination of Radial Velocity and Direct Imaging Techniques [PDF]
Abstract The sensitivities of radial velocity (RV) surveys for exoplanet detection are extending to increasingly longer orbital periods, where companions with periods of several years are now being regularly discovered. Companions with orbital periods that exceed the duration of the survey manifest in the data as an incomplete orbit or ...

Development of Iodine Cells for Subaru HDS and Okayama HIDES. III. An Improvement on the Radial-Velocity Measurement Technique [PDF]
Abstract An improvement of the radial-velocity measurement accuracy is crucial for the detection of tiny stellar oscillations and exoplanets. Through the analysis of week-long extensive observations of solar-type stars (Procyon in 2000, 2002, and 2006/2007 and $\tau$ Cet in 2002 and 2006/2007), we have carefully examined, revised, and ...

Abstract A matrix inversion technique is derived to calculate local ion temperature from line-integrated measurements of an extended emission source in an axisymmetric plasma which exactly corrects for both toroidal velocity and radial velocity components.
