Planet finding prospects for the Space Interferometry Mission
Eric B. Ford, Scott Tremaine
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) will make precise astrometric measurements that can be used to detect planets around nearby stars. We have simulated SIM observations and est…

Quantifying the Uncertainty in the Orbits of Extrasolar Planets
Eric B. Ford
Precise radial velocity measurements have led to the discovery of ~100 extrasolar planetary systems. We investigate the uncertainty in the orbital solutions that have been fit to t…

Early-type Stars: Most Favorable Targets for Astrometrically Detectable Planets in the Habitable Zone
Andrew Gould, Debra A. Fischer
Early-type stars appear to be a difficult place to look for planets astrometrically. First, they are relatively heavy, and for fixed planetary mass the astrometric signal falls inv…
