DETECTING PLANETS AROUND VERY LOW MASS STARS WITH THE RADIAL VELOCITY METHOD (2009, background): “Distribution of rotation in M dwarfs Higher resolution spectra only offer an advantage for radial velocity measurements if the stars exhibit sharp lines (see also Bouchy et al. 2001).”
Limits on Planetary Companions from Doppler Surveys of Nearby Stars (2016, background): “The v isin scaling to the ∼1.5 power is consistent with a study by Bouchy et al. (2001) on the fundamental photon noise limit to radial velocity measurements, in the case of early F type main sequence stars.”
METALLICITY AND TEMPERATURE INDICATORS IN M DWARF K-BAND SPECTRA: TESTING NEW AND UPDATED CALIBRATIONS WITH OBSERVATIONS OF 133 SOLAR NEIGHBORHOOD M DWARFS (2011, background): “Bouchy et al. (2001) found that the radial velocity uncertainties increase by a factor of ∼4 when the rotation velocity increases from ∼1 km/s to 10 km/s. Stars with v sin i> 10 km/s should be avoided to provide optimal RV sensitivity.”
The planet search programme at the ESO CES and HARPS - IV. The search for Jupiter analogues around solar-like stars (2012, methodology): “To quantify this, we calculated the quality factor Q (Connes 1985; Butler et al. 1996; Bouchy et al. 2001) for each chunk in a stellar template10.”
TW Hydrae: evidence of stellar spots instead of a Hot Jupiter (2008, background): “We verified that the measured scatter per night, between 20 and 50 m/s, atched the expected uncertainties as estimated by Bouchy et al. (2001).”
Cosmic dynamics in the era of Extremely Large Telescopes (2008, methodology): “In calculating this variance we must differ from Bouchy et al. (2001).”
The HARPS search for southern extra-solar planets. X. A m sin i = 11 M_â planet around the nearby spotted M dwarf GJ 674 (2007, background): “Their Doppler information content, evaluated according to the prescriptions of Bouchy et al. (2001), is mostly below 1 m s−1.”
State of the Field: Extreme Precision Radial Velocities (2016, methodology): “…and spectral resolution, which in turn dictates the wavelength bandpass, type of wavelength calibration, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), precision for the barycentric correction, and required stability for the spectral line spread function (Connes 1985; Bouchy et al. 2001; Podgorski et al. 2014).”
SOPHIE velocimetry of Kepler transit candidates XVII. The physical properties of giant exoplanets within 400 days of period (2015, methodology): “The errors on the RV are estimated using the method explained in Bouchy et al. (2001) and in the appendix A of Boisse et al. (2010).”
The LCES HIRES/Keck Precision Radial Velocity Exoplanet Survey (2017, background): “As shown by Bouchy et al. (2001), the radial velocity information content or “quality factor,” Q of a stellar spectrum depends on spectral resolution.”
