Astrometric Detection of Earthlike Planets (2009)
Shao, Michael, Marcy, Geoff, Catanzarite, Joseph H., Edberg, Stephen J., Leger, Alain, Malbet, Fabien, ...
Astrometry can detect rocky planets in a broad range of masses and orbital distances and measure their masses and three-dimensional orbital parameters, including eccentricity and inclination, to...
A Simple Method of Determining Archaeoastronomical Alignments in the Field (2009)
Seymour, Timothy P, Edberg, Stephen J
This paper has, of necessity, been brief. Further data, lists of new stars or other objects, or more complete tabulations may become necessary as the current state of knowledge advances. The method...
The SIM PlanetQuest science program (2008)
Edberg, Stephen J., Traub, Wesley A., Unwin, Stephen C.
SIM PlanetQuest (hereafter, just SIM) is a NASA mission to measure the angular positions of stars with unprecedented accuracy. We outline the main astrophysical science programs planned for SIM, and...
