Radio Astrometric Detection and Characterization of Extra-Solar Planets: A White Paper Submitted to the NSF ExoPlanet Task Force
The extraordinary astrometric accuracy of radio interferometry creates an important and unique opportunity for the discovery and characterization of exoplanets. Currently, the Very Long Baseline Array can routinely achieve better than 100 μas accuracy, and can approach 10 μas with careful calibration. We describe here RIPL, the Radio Interferometric PLanet search, a new program with the VLBA an...
متن کاملThe Effects of Multiple Companions on the Efficiency of the SIM Planet Searches
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is expected to make precise astrometric measurements that can be used to detect low mass planets around nearby stars. Since most nearby stars are members of multiple star systems, many stars will have a measurable acceleration due to their companion, which must be included when solving for astrometric parameters and searching for planetary perturbations. A...
متن کاملAstrometric Methods and Instrumentation to Identify and Characterize Extrasolar Planets: A Review
I present a review of astrometric techniques and instrumentation utilized to search for, detect, and characterize extra-solar planets. First, I briefly summarize the properties of the present-day sample of extrasolar planets, in connection with predictions from theoretical models of planet formation and evolution. Next, the generic approach to planet detection with astrometry is described, with...
متن کاملPlanets Around M-dwarfs – Astrometric Detection and Orbit Characterization
There are compelling reasons to search for planets around late M-dwarfs: current planet surveys have not been able to target these optically-faint stars, and the reduced primary stellar mass improves planet detection sensitivity for new techniques which can target these stars. In this white paper we argue that one can employ aging 2 m telescopes for dedicated astrometric programs in the spirit ...
متن کاملAstrometric Detection of Extra-solar Planets with Gaia
The proposed baseline GAIA mission will be capable to detect the astrometric signature of Jupiter-size planets around half a million stars, using either global or narrow-angle astrometry. If the mission can realize the higher astrometric accuracy photon statistics allows for bright stars, lower-mass planets (from Earth size to ten times larger) can be found around ten to a few hundred stars. 1....
