WAVELENGTH SHIFTS IN SOLAR-TYPE SPECTRA ! Dainis Dravins, Lennart Lindegren, Hans-Günter Ludwig, Søren Madsen Lund Observatory, Sweden Cool Stars 13, Hamburg, July 2004
WAVELENGTH SHIFTS ! Usually interpreted as “Radial velocity”
"Definition" of radial velocity "The radial component is stellar movement toward or away from us. This motion must be measured from a star's spectrum." C.De Pree & A.Axelrod: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Astronomy, p.258 (1999)
Astrometric radial velocities I Dravins, Lindegren & Madsen, A&A 348, 1040
Astrometric radial velocities II Dravins, Lindegren & Madsen, A&A 348, 1040

PROGRESS IN SCIENCE is driven by... Confrontation between theory and observation Falsification of theoretical hypotheses New observational measures requiring explanation
PROGRESS IN SCIENCE is not driven by... Agreement between theory and observation (when they agree, not much new can be learned)
PROGRESS IN STELLAR PHYSICS Requires disagreement between theory and observation !
