Detectability of Terrestrial Planets in Multi-Planet Systems: Preliminary Report (2009)
Traub, Wesley A., Beichman, Charles, Boden, Andrew F., Boss, Alan P., Casertano, Stefano, Catanzarite, Joseph, ...
We ask if Earth-like planets (terrestrial mass and habitable-zone orbit) can be detected in multi-planet systems, using astrometric and radial velocity observations. We report here the preliminary...
Astrometric Detection of exo-Earths in the Presence of Stellar Noise (2008)
Catanzarite, Joseph, Law, Nicholas, Shao, Michael
Space astrometry is capable of sub-microarcsecond measurements of star positions. A hundred visits over several years could yield relative astrometric precision of ~0.1 uas, below the astrometric...
