On the spectroscopic detection from the ground of Earth-like planets circling solar-like stars
Abstract
Planets with masses and orbits similar to those of the Earth, revolving around a solar-like star, give rise to recoil effects with amplitudes of the order of ~0.1 m s^{-1}, and periodicities of the order of a year. Spectroscopic methods, developed by the author in the late 1950's -- extended by him, together with collaborators, since the early 1970's -- led to the discovery of global solar oscillations in 1979, and can be extended to tackle the above problem. The methods, and their potential, will be presented and discussed.
