Description
Recent surge in discoveries of exoplanets and major improvements
observational techniques change the expectations of the role of radial
velocity searches. Today several massive projects run a race to achieve a
long-term precision of 10 cm/s. I will explain the main challenges we are
facing and the currently pursued ways of addressing them. I will also speak
about the recent tendency of combining various detection techniques.
