[JeffValenti]

Recovery of the Stellar Spectrum and Precise Radial Velocities from an Ensemble of Echelle Spectra Obtained with an Iodine Cell

Valenti, Fulton, Anderson, and Howard

I. Introduction

• Role of precise radial velocity measurements
• CPS pipeline methodology and precision
• Difficulty obtaining deconvolved stellar spectrum
• Grand solution
  • Sufficient constraints
  • Null hypothesis

II. Algorithm Description

• Overview
• Wavelength model
• Stellar spectrum model
• Observed iodine spectrum
• PSF model
• Inner loop (null hypothesis)
• Outer loop (relax null hypothesis)
  • Combining echelle orders

III. Demonstration

• Simulated data
• APF data, no planet
• APF data, planet
• (HIRES data, no planet?)

IV. Summary

A1. Implementation

• Inner loop (grand)
• Outer loop (iGrand)
• File formats
