Surfing the photon noise : New techniques to find low-mass planets around M dwarfs
(2013-02)
The current precision radial velocities techniques to detect low mass planets in M dwarf are quickly reviewed. This includes high resolution spectroscopic observations made both in the optical and in the near infrared. We ...
Periodic variability of spotted M dwarfs in WTS
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
We present an analysis of the photometric variability of M dwarfs in the WFCAM Transit Survey, selected from spectral types inferred by their WTS and SDSS colours, with periods detected using a Lomb-Scargle Periodogram ...
Red Optical Planet Survey : A radial velocity search for low mass M dwarf planets
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
We present radial velocity results from our Red Optical Planet Survey (ROPS), aimed at detecting low-mass planets orbiting mid-late M dwarfs. The similar to 10 ms(-1) precision achieved over 2 consecutive nights with the ...
Status of the Calan-Hertfordshire Extrasolar Planet Search
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
In these proceedings we give a status update of the Calan-Hertfordshire Extrasolar Planet Search, an international collaboration led from Chile that aims to discover more planets around super metal-rich and Sun-like stars, ...
