The radial velocity (RV) technique has proven to be one of the most successful methods to search for extra-solar planets and is the most robust means by which to measure their masses (and therefore to infer their compositions). In this talk, I describe a set of routines to precisely measure relative velocities of stellar sources with the RV technique by measuring the Doppler shift from high resolution stellar...
