Abstract

It has been proposed that extra-solar planetary systems may be observed if perturbations in star position due to the orbit of Jupiter-type planets could be detected. To see this motion, high accuracy measurements of.01 milliarc second are required over a relatively large field of view. Techniques using a moving Ronchi grating have been proposed for this application and have been successful in ground-based lower resolution tests. The method may have application to other precision angular measurement problems. This paper explores the theoretical description of the method, considers certain of the error sources, and presents a preliminary calculation of the performance which may be achieved.
