EPRV 101 -- General Resources
If you're new to the radial velocity world and are looking for some helpful resources to help get up to speed on the many pieces and parts that make up Extreme Precision Radial Velocity (EPRV) community, then this is a great place to start!
- The 2020 Sagan Workshop was focused entirely on EPRV and contained dozens of great presentations on the fundamentals of EPRV instrumentation, calibration, data reduction, data analysis, and stellar variability mitigation. The workshop also included a number of hands-on tutorials centered around using the Data & Analysis Center for Exoplanets (DACE). The agenda page linked here contains links to the recordings of all of these talks and is a great place to kick off an EPRV education.
- A new Annual Reviews of Astronomy & Astrophysics paper on EPRV (Burt, Dumusque & Halverson 2026) is now available and provides an overview of the current state of EPRV instrumentation, data reduction, stellar variability mitigation, and exoplanet fitting.
- The 2021 EPRV Working Group's Final Report, commissioned by NASA and the NSF, described the current state of the field and laid out a number of roadmaps and high priority areas that must be advanced in order to detect temperate, Earth-mass planets around Sun-like stars.
- Numerous textbooks and summer/winter school proceedings include nice chapters on the radial velocity method, some examples include:
- The Doppler Method for the Detection of Exoplanets [2019, Entire Book]
- The Exoplanet Handbook, 2nd Edition [2019, Chapter 2: Radial Velocities]
- Methods of Detecting Exoplanets [2016, Part I: The Radial Velocity Method]
- Physics and Astrophysics of Planetary Systems [2010, Detection and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets through Doppler Spectroscopy]
- Exoplanets [2010, Part II: Radial Velocity]
