| contents | Precise measurements of a star's radial velocity (RV) made using extremely stable, high resolution, optical or near infrared spectrographs can be used to determine the masses and orbital parameters of gravitationally-bound extra-solar planets (exoplanets). Indeed, RV surveys and follow up efforts have provided the vast majority of published exoplanet mass measurements and in doing so have enabled studies into exoplanet interior and atmospheric compositions. Here we review the current state of the RV field, with particular attention paid to:
-The evolution of precise RV methodologies over the past two decades
-Modern RV spectrograph designs that can be calibrated to a stability level of better than 50 cm/s over timescales of years
-RV data reduction and post-processing techniques that minimize the impact of instrument systematics and stellar variability
-Techniques for detecting exoplanets in RV data and disentangling planetary signals from stellar variability |
