Radial Velocity Simulator by UNL

Animations & simulations, Citizen science projects

Authors:

Simulate radial velocity curves with a wide range of parameters.

One of the most important method for observing exoplanets is the radial velocity method. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln astronomy education group has released a web-application where you can simulate the radial velocity variations that a planet introduces into its star. You can vary stellar mass, planet mass, orbit & observation parameters and can see immediately how this influences the measured radial velocity curve.
