Jitter Correction Algorithms for the COROT Satellite Mission: Validation with Test Bench Data and MOST On-Orbit Photometry

Auvergne, M.; Drummond, R.; Aerts, C. +5 more

We demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of photometric correction algorithms for satellite pointing jitter in the upcoming space mission COROT, which will study asteroseismology and search for exoplanets. Two algorithms based on model-based estimation and decorrelation are tested in two ways: (1) with artificial light sources in the COROT …
