The radial velocity (RV) of a single star is easily obtained from cross-correlation of the spectrum with a template, but the treatment of double-lined spectroscopic binaries (SB2s) is more difficult. Two different approaches were applied to…
We conduct experiments on both real and synthetic radial velocity (RV) data to quantify the impact that observing cadence, the number of RV observations, and undetected companions all have on the accuracy of small planet mass measurements.…

Stellar activity remains one of the main limitations in the detection of Earth-like planets using radial velocity (RV) measurements. The Sun, as the only star for which surface features can be spatially resolved, offers a unique testbed for…
