Checking Stability Of Planet Orbits In Multiple-planet Systems
F. Malbet, J. Catanzarite, M. Shao +1
The SIM Lite mission will undertake several planet surveys. One of them, the Deep Planet Survey, is designed to detect Earth-mass exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby main s…
Exoplanet Characterization and the Search for Life
J. Kasting, W. Traub, A. Roberge +119
Over 300 extrasolar planets (exoplanets) have been detected orbiting nearby stars. We now hope to conduct a census of all planets around nearby stars and to characterize their atmo…
Starspot Jitter in Photometry, Astrometry and Radial Velocity Measurements
V. V. Makarov, C. A. Beichman, J. H. Catanzarite +4
Analytical relations are derived for the amplitude of astrometric, photometric and radial velocity perturbations caused by a single rotating spot. The relative power of the star sp…
Astrometric Detection of Earthlike Planets
Michael Shao, Geoff Marcy, Joseph H. Catanzarite +12
Astrometry can detect rocky planets in a broad range of masses and orbital distances and measure their masses and three-dimensional orbital parameters, including eccentricity and i…
Detectability of Terrestrial Planets in Multi-Planet Systems: Preliminary Report
Wesley A. Traub, Charles Beichman, Andrew F. Boden +21
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…
No Planet Left Behind: Investigating Planetary Diversity and Architecture with SIM Lite
S. R. Kulkarni, H. E. Schlichting, B. M. S. Hansen +1
The evidence is mounting that star formation necessarily involves planet formation. We clearly have a vested interest in finding other Earths but a true understanding of planet for…
