Abstract
. In the middle of the 20th century, a paradigm shift appeared concerning the expected frequency of planetary systems in the galaxy...a shift induced by the observation of the rotational velocities of low main sequence stars (Struve 1952)! Atthesametime,Fellgett(1955)proposedtoconcentratethedilutedDopplerinformationonseveraltens of thousands of absorption lines to allow the precise measurement of stellar velocities. This idea improved the e ffi ciency of radial velocity measurements by a factor of over 1000. Gradually the accuracy of the new generation of spectrographs using cross-correlation is improved from 300 m/s to 0.1 m/s....An idea that will contribute in an important way to the discovery of 51 Pegasi b and several hundreds of planetary systems. Will visible or infrared cross-correlation spectrographs today be able to detect rocky planets in the habitable zone associated with their host star?
期刊介绍:
The Comptes Rendus - Physique are an open acess and peer-reviewed electronic scientific journal publishing original research article. It is one of seven journals published by the Académie des sciences.
Its objective is to enable researchers to quickly share their work with the international scientific community.
The Comptes Rendus - Physique also publish journal articles, thematic issues and articles on the history of the Académie des sciences and its current scientific activity.
From 2020 onwards, the journal''s policy is based on a diamond open access model: no fees are charged to authors to publish or to readers to access articles. Thus, articles are accessible immediately, free of charge and permanently after publication.
The Comptes Rendus - Physique (8 issues per year) cover all fields of physics and astrophysics and propose dossiers. Thanks to this formula, readers of physics and astrophysics will find, in each issue, the presentation of a subject in particularly rapid development. The authors are chosen from among the most active researchers in the field and each file is coordinated by a guest editor, ensuring that the most recent and significant results are taken into account. In order to preserve the historical purpose of the Comptes Rendus, these issues also leave room for the usual notes and clarifications. The articles are written mainly in English.
