Observing exoplanets from the planet Earth: how our revolution around the Sun affects the detection of 1-year periods [EPA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1710.03560


We analysed a selected sample of exoplanets with orbital periods close to 1 year to study the effects of the spectral window on the data, affected by the 1 cycle/year aliasing due to the Earth motion around the Sun. We pointed out a few cases where a further observational effort would largely improve the reliability of the orbital solutions.
