Doppler cross-correlation spectroscopy as a path to the detection of Earth-like planets by Mayor, Michel

“…Gradually the accuracy of the new generation of spectrographs using cross-correlation is improved from 300 m/s to 0.1 m/s. ...An idea that will contribute in an important way to the discovery of 51 Pegasi b and several hundreds of planetary systems.Will visible or infrared cross-correlation spectrographs today be able to detect rocky planets in the habitable zone associated with their host star?…”
