Astrometric Exoplanet Detection Survives Solar-like Stellar Contamination

Astrometric monitoring of stars provides a promising method for discovery of low-mass planets around nearby Sun-like stars. The astronomical community has proposed several telescopes designed to perform high-precision astrometric observations. One limiting factor intrinsic to stars is the astrometric noise – or “jitter” – induced by surface stellar activity such as starspots and faculae. Despite [...] The post Astrometric Exoplanet Detection Survives Solar-like Stellar Contamination appeared fir
