| arXiv: The modulation of SiO maser polarization by Jovian planetsIt might be possible to search for planets around asymptotic giant branch stars by observing changes in the polarisation of SiO masers. The radial velocity method does not work well on these stars because of the extended atmosphere. I suspect that verifying any objects discovered this way as planets will be quite tricky. | |
