radial speed velocity			In return for building the instrument, the HARPS consortium was granted 100 observing nights per year during a five-year period to carry out one of the most ambitious systematic searches for exoplanets so far implemented worldwide by repeatedly measuring the radial velocities of hundreds of stars that may harbour planetary systems. Scientists report discovery of 32 new exoplanets by Asian News International 9m telescope to measure radial velocities of some W UMa-type systems. University of South Africa: Department of Mathematical Sciences--2007 ... by Monthly Notes of the Astronomical Society of Southern Africa But more than 30 years later, in July this year, he completed his PhD thesis, A survey of radial velocities in the zodiacal dust cloud, and was awarded his doctorate last month.
