| Abstract: | Knowledge of a star's rotation period and ν sin i can be used to select stars that are seen pole-on, and thus are well suited to planetary searches by astrometric or direct-imaging means. A table of such stars is presented. This method is not suitable for discriminating equator-on systems and so cannot be used to select candidates for the photometric method of W. J. Borucki and A. L. Summers (1984, Icarus58, 121–134). |
