The Automated Planet Finder ( APF ) Telescope a.k.a. Rocky Planet Finder , is a fully robotic 2.4-meter optical telescope at Lick Observatory , situated on the summit of Mount Hamilton, east of San Jose, California, USA. It is designed to search for extrasolar planets in the range of five to twenty times the mass of the Earth . The instrument will examine about 10 stars per night. Over the span of a decade, the telescope is expected to study 1,000 nearby stars for planets. Its estimated cost was $ 10 million. The total cost-to-completion of the APF project was $ 12.37 million. First light was originally scheduled for 2006, but delays in the construction of the major components of the telescope pushed this back to August 2013. It was commissioned in August 2013.
85-529: The telescope uses high-precision radial velocity measurements to measure the gravitational reflex motion of nearby stars caused by the orbiting of planets. The design goal is to detect stellar motions as small as one meter per second, comparable to a slow walking speed. The main targets will be stars within about 100 light years of the Earth. Early tests show that the performance of the Ken and Gloria Levy Doppler Spectrometer

This should be expected because ( f ∘ g ) ∘ h = f ∘ ( g ∘ h ) . Sometimes, it is necessary to differentiate an arbitrarily long composition of the form f 1 ∘ f 2 ∘ ⋯ ∘ f n − 1 ∘ f n {\displaystyle f_{1}\circ f_{2}\circ \cdots \circ f_{n-1}\circ f_{n}\!} .

1190-416: A exists and equals Q ( g ( a )) , which is f ′( g ( a )) . This shows that the limits of both factors exist and that they equal f ′( g ( a )) and g ′( a ) , respectively. Therefore, the derivative of f ∘ g at a exists and equals f ′( g ( a )) g ′( a ) . Another way of proving the chain rule is to measure the error in the linear approximation determined by the derivative. This proof has
1275-397: A exists and equals g ′( a ) . As for Q ( g ( x )) , notice that Q is defined wherever f is. Furthermore, f is differentiable at g ( a ) by assumption, so Q is continuous at g ( a ) , by definition of the derivative. The function g is continuous at a because it is differentiable at a , and therefore Q ∘ g is continuous at a . So its limit as x goes to

1445-474: A ) , then the difference quotient for f ∘ g is zero because f ( g ( x )) equals f ( g ( a )) , and the above product is zero because it equals f ′( g ( a )) times zero. So the above product is always equal to the difference quotient, and to show that the derivative of f ∘ g at a exists and to determine its value, we need only show that the limit as x goes to a of the above product exists and determine its value. To do this, recall that

For example, this happens near a = 0 for the continuous function g defined by g ( x ) = 0 for x = 0 and g ( x ) = x sin(1/ x ) otherwise. Whenever this happens, the above expression is undefined because it involves division by zero . To work around this, introduce

It has been suggested that planets with high eccentricities calculated by this method may in fact be two-planet systems of circular or near-circular resonant orbit.

2210-882: A variable z depends on the variable y , which itself depends on the variable x (that is, y and z are dependent variables ), then z depends on x as well, via the intermediate variable y . In this case, the chain rule is expressed as d z d x = d z d y ⋅ d y d x , {\displaystyle {\frac {dz}{dx}}={\frac {dz}{dy}}\cdot {\frac {dy}{dx}},} and d z d x | x = d z d y | y ( x ) ⋅ d y d x | x , {\displaystyle \left.{\frac {dz}{dx}}\right|_{x}=\left.{\frac {dz}{dy}}\right|_{y(x)}\cdot \left.{\frac {dy}{dx}}\right|_{x},} for indicating at which points

If we attempt to use the above formula to compute the derivative of f at zero, then we must evaluate 1/ g ′( f (0)) . Since f (0) = 0 and g ′(0) = 0 , we must evaluate 1/0, which is undefined. Therefore,

Proving the theorem requires studying the difference f ( g ( a + h )) − f ( g ( a )) as h tends to zero. The first step is to substitute for g ( a + h ) using the definition of differentiability of g at a : f ( g ( a + h ) ) − f ( g (

Intuitively, the chain rule states that knowing the instantaneous rate of change of z relative to y and that of y relative to x allows one to calculate the instantaneous rate of change of z relative to x as the product of the two rates of change. As put by George F. Simmons : "If
5440-427: The difference quotient for f ∘ g is always equal to: Q ( g ( x ) ) ⋅ g ( x ) − g ( a ) x − a . {\displaystyle Q(g(x))\cdot {\frac {g(x)-g(a)}{x-a}}.} Whenever g ( x ) is not equal to g ( a ) , this is clear because the factors of g ( x ) − g ( a ) cancel. When g ( x ) equals g (
5525-411: The differentiability of a function can be used to give an elegant proof of the chain rule. Under this definition, a function f is differentiable at a point a if and only if there is a function q , continuous at a and such that f ( x ) − f ( a ) = q ( x )( x − a ) . There is at most one such function, and if f is differentiable at a then f ′( a ) = q ( a ) . Given the assumptions of
5610-2575: The first few derivatives are: d y d x = d y d u d u d x d 2 y d x 2 = d 2 y d u 2 ( d u d x ) 2 + d y d u d 2 u d x 2 d 3 y d x 3 = d 3 y d u 3 ( d u d x ) 3 + 3 d 2 y d u 2 d u d x d 2 u d x 2 + d y d u d 3 u d x 3 d 4 y d x 4 = d 4 y d u 4 ( d u d x ) 4 + 6 d 3 y d u 3 ( d u d x ) 2 d 2 u d x 2 + d 2 y d u 2 ( 4 d u d x d 3 u d x 3 + 3 ( d 2 u d x 2 ) 2 ) + d y d u d 4 u d x 4 . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\frac {dy}{dx}}&={\frac {dy}{du}}{\frac {du}{dx}}\\{\frac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}&={\frac {d^{2}y}{du^{2}}}\left({\frac {du}{dx}}\right)^{2}+{\frac {dy}{du}}{\frac {d^{2}u}{dx^{2}}}\\{\frac {d^{3}y}{dx^{3}}}&={\frac {d^{3}y}{du^{3}}}\left({\frac {du}{dx}}\right)^{3}+3\,{\frac {d^{2}y}{du^{2}}}{\frac {du}{dx}}{\frac {d^{2}u}{dx^{2}}}+{\frac {dy}{du}}{\frac {d^{3}u}{dx^{3}}}\\{\frac {d^{4}y}{dx^{4}}}&={\frac {d^{4}y}{du^{4}}}\left({\frac {du}{dx}}\right)^{4}+6\,{\frac {d^{3}y}{du^{3}}}\left({\frac {du}{dx}}\right)^{2}{\frac {d^{2}u}{dx^{2}}}+{\frac {d^{2}y}{du^{2}}}\left(4\,{\frac {du}{dx}}{\frac {d^{3}u}{dx^{3}}}+3\,\left({\frac {d^{2}u}{dx^{2}}}\right)^{2}\right)+{\frac {dy}{du}}{\frac {d^{4}u}{dx^{4}}}.\end{aligned}}} One proof of
5695-489: The first proof is played by η in this proof. They are related by the equation: Q ( y ) = f ′ ( g ( a ) ) + η ( y − g ( a ) ) . {\displaystyle Q(y)=f'(g(a))+\eta (y-g(a)).} The need to define Q at g ( a ) is analogous to the need to define η at zero. Constantin Carathéodory 's alternative definition of
5780-416: The first two bracketed terms tend to zero as h tends to zero. Applying the same theorem on products of limits as in the first proof, the third bracketed term also tends zero. Because the above expression is equal to the difference f ( g ( a + h )) − f ( g ( a )) , by the definition of the derivative f ∘ g is differentiable at a and its derivative is f ′( g ( a )) g ′( a ). The role of Q in
5865-408: The formula fails in this case. This is not surprising because f is not differentiable at zero. The chain rule forms the basis of the back propagation algorithm, which is used in gradient descent of neural networks in deep learning ( artificial intelligence ). Faà di Bruno's formula generalizes the chain rule to higher derivatives. Assuming that y = f ( u ) and u = g ( x ) , then
5950-431: The function g ( x ) = e . It has an inverse f ( y ) = ln y . Because g ′( x ) = e , the above formula says that d d y ln y = 1 e ln y = 1 y . {\displaystyle {\frac {d}{dy}}\ln y={\frac {1}{e^{\ln y}}}={\frac {1}{y}}.} This formula is true whenever g is differentiable and its inverse f
6035-499: The function f is addition, that is, if f ( u , v ) = u + v , {\displaystyle f(u,v)=u+v,} then D 1 f = ∂ f ∂ u = 1 {\textstyle D_{1}f={\frac {\partial f}{\partial u}}=1} and D 2 f = ∂ f ∂ v = 1 {\textstyle D_{2}f={\frac {\partial f}{\partial v}}=1} . Thus,
6120-423: The function. As these arguments are not named in the above formula, it is simpler and clearer to use D -Notation , and to denote by D i f {\displaystyle D_{i}f} the partial derivative of f with respect to its i th argument, and by D i f ( z ) {\displaystyle D_{i}f(z)} the value of this derivative at z . With this notation,
6205-544: The functions f ( g ( x ) ) {\displaystyle f(g(x))} and x are equal, their derivatives must be equal. The derivative of x is the constant function with value 1, and the derivative of f ( g ( x ) ) {\displaystyle f(g(x))} is determined by the chain rule. Therefore, we have that: f ′ ( g ( x ) ) g ′ ( x ) = 1. {\displaystyle f'(g(x))g'(x)=1.} To express f' as
6290-418: The inner product is either +1 or -1, for parallel and antiparallel vectors , respectively. A singularity exists for coincident observer target, i.e., r = 0 {\displaystyle r=0} ; in this case, range rate is undefined. In astronomy, radial velocity is often measured to the first order of approximation by Doppler spectroscopy . The quantity obtained by this method may be called
6375-398: The limit of a product exists if the limits of its factors exist. When this happens, the limit of the product of these two factors will equal the product of the limits of the factors. The two factors are Q ( g ( x )) and ( g ( x ) − g ( a )) / ( x − a ) . The latter is the difference quotient for g at a , and because g is differentiable at a by assumption, its limit as x tends to
6460-949: The quotient rule is a consequence of the chain rule and the product rule . To see this, write the function f ( x )/ g ( x ) as the product f ( x ) · 1/ g ( x ) . First apply the product rule: d d x ( f ( x ) g ( x ) ) = d d x ( f ( x ) ⋅ 1 g ( x ) ) = f ′ ( x ) ⋅ 1 g ( x ) + f ( x ) ⋅ d d x ( 1 g ( x ) ) . {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}{\frac {d}{dx}}\left({\frac {f(x)}{g(x)}}\right)&={\frac {d}{dx}}\left(f(x)\cdot {\frac {1}{g(x)}}\right)\\&=f'(x)\cdot {\frac {1}{g(x)}}+f(x)\cdot {\frac {d}{dx}}\left({\frac {1}{g(x)}}\right).\end{aligned}}} To compute
6545-425: The radial velocity then denotes the speed with which the object moves away from the Earth (or approaches it, for a negative radial velocity). Given a differentiable vector r ∈ R 3 {\displaystyle \mathbf {r} \in \mathbb {R} ^{3}} defining the instantaneous relative position of a target with respect to an observer. Let the instantaneous relative velocity of
6630-482: The range rate is simply expressed as i.e., the projection of the relative velocity vector onto the LOS direction. Further defining the velocity direction v ^ = v / v {\displaystyle {\hat {v}}=\mathbf {v} /{v}} , with the relative speed v = ‖ v ‖ {\displaystyle v=\|\mathbf {v} \|} , we have: where
6715-518: The right-hand-side by the chain rule using ( 1 ) the expression becomes By reciprocity, ⟨ v , r ⟩ = ⟨ r , v ⟩ {\displaystyle \langle \mathbf {v} ,\mathbf {r} \rangle =\langle \mathbf {r} ,\mathbf {v} \rangle } . Defining the unit relative position vector r ^ = r / r {\displaystyle {\hat {r}}=\mathbf {r} /{r}} (or LOS direction),

6885-420: The star. When the star moves towards us, its spectrum is blueshifted, while it is redshifted when it moves away from us. By regularly looking at the spectrum of a star—and so, measuring its velocity—it can be determined if it moves periodically due to the influence of an exoplanet companion. From the instrumental perspective, velocities are measured relative to the telescope's motion. So an important first step of
6970-480: The study of functions of a single variable, it is worth describing it separately. Let f : R k → R {\displaystyle f:\mathbb {R} ^{k}\to \mathbb {R} } , and g i : R → R {\displaystyle g_{i}:\mathbb {R} \to \mathbb {R} } for each i = 1 , 2 , … , k . {\displaystyle i=1,2,\dots ,k.} To write

7140-423: The two points. The radial speed or range rate is the temporal rate of the distance or range between the two points. It is a signed scalar quantity , formulated as the scalar projection of the relative velocity vector onto the LOS direction. Equivalently, radial speed equals the norm of the radial velocity, modulo the sign. In astronomy, the point is usually taken to be the observer on Earth, so
7225-399: The way that the movement's measurement determines the planet's orbital period, while the resulting radial-velocity amplitude allows the calculation of the lower bound on a planet's mass using the binary mass function . Radial velocity methods alone may only reveal a lower bound, since a large planet orbiting at a very high angle to the line of sight will perturb its star radially as much as
