rvmethod - Radial Velocity Method for Detecting Exoplanets
Has various functions designed to implement the
Hermite-Gaussian Radial Velocity (HGRV) estimation approach of
Holzer et al. (2020) <arXiv:2005.14083>, which is a particular
application of the radial velocity method for detecting
exoplanets. The overall approach consists of four sequential
steps, each of which has a function in this package: (1)
estimate the template spectrum with the function
estimate_template(), (2) find absorption features in the
estimated template with the function findabsorptionfeatures(),
(3) fit Gaussians to the absorption features with the function
Gaussfit(), (4) apply the HGRV with simple linear regression by
calling the function hgrv(). This package is meant to be open
source. But please cite the paper Holzer et al. (2020)
<arXiv:2005.14083> when publishing results that use this
package.
