Abstract

Progress in stellar precise radial velocity work will require the stellar, exoplanetary, and instrument scientists in the precise RV community to be better engaged with the heliophysics community. This engagement will require funding for close collaboration among statisticians, heliophysicists, instrument builders, and stellar astronomers, dedicated meetings where the communities can learn about each other and interact inperson, and computational and observational resources to generate the appropriate synthetic and real data sets to drive and prove theoretical understanding of RV jitter.
