Discovering New Worlds: A review of signal processing methods for detecting exoplanets from astronomical radial velocity data [Applications Corner]

摘要

Exoplanets, short for extra solar planets, are planets outside our solar system. They are objects with masses fewer than around 15 Jupiter-masses that orbit stars other than the sun. They are small enough so they cannot burn deuterium in their cores, yet large enough that they are not so-called dwarf planets like Pluto.
