A brief history of Exoplanets

Giordano Bruno

“Thus is the excellence of God magnified and the greatness of his kingdom made manifest; He is glorified not in one, but in countless suns; not in a single earth, a single world, but in a thousand thousand, I say in an infinity of worlds!”

The Pothole of Comte’s Positivism

!“we can determine the shapes, distances, sizes, and motions of celestial bodies, but never, by any means, will we be able to study their chemical compositions.”

Summary

  • Accuracy, not just precision is critical for the M dwarf
  • pportunity
  • T-EDI is achieving ~20 ms -1 intranight, 40 ms -1 night-to-

night, 80 ms -1 month-to-month precision

  • Accuracy is 12 m/s BarnardStar-Hale-decihr-1/2
