radial-velocity

If the plane of the orbit of the system is very nearly along the line of sight, this provides the most ideal situation for attempting to detect planets using the radial-velocity of the parent star.

The radial-velocity observations were complemented with precise brightness measurements acquired with robotic telescopes in Arizona by Gregory Henry of Tennessee State University.

The journal Nature quoted astronomer Greg Laughlin from the University of California at Santa Cruz, saying that the delay for Kepler makes it "more likely that the first Earth-mass planet is going to go to the radial-velocity observers".

It's even further away than GJ 1214, lying 42 light-years distant in the constellation Pictor, but it's of great interest to planet-hunters because of its confirmed planets, radial-velocity technique, meaning that astronomers can only estimate their mass and don't have reliable information on their density or composition.

But there are tantalizing residual motions in its radial-velocity signals that hint at an additional orbiting companion further out in the system, perhaps even in the star's habitable zone.

The European Southern Observatory's HARPS spectrometer, the world's premier radial-velocity instrument, is closely monitoring HD 40307 in hopes of finding additional, more habitable planets there.

At least three planet-hunting teams are currently performing radial-velocity surveys of Alpha Centauri, with a particular focus on B, which is a more quiescent star, and thus easier to monitor.

The role of target-finding for future direct-detection missions, one not universally accepted as essential, can be done at least partially by pushing ground - based radial-velocity capabilities to a challenging but achievable precision below 10 centimeters per second.
