Detectability of Terrestrial Planets in Multi-Planet Systems: Preliminary Report

Abstract

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 results of double-blind calculations designed to answer this question.
