My paper on the radial velocity jitter of 600 planet-search stars – or as I call it “the big jitter paper” – was just recently published earlier this week and is now on arXiv! I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few years getting to this stage, so here’s a “brief” summary!
Intro:
In the search for low mass exoplanets, we are hampered by stellar variability, or “jitter,” that can drown out the signals of planets. The goal of this work is to better understand the astrophysical drivers of RV jitter and gain a broader picture of RV jitter for a wide range of stars. [Read more…]
