===Data reduction=== From the instrumental perspective, velocities are measured relative to the telescope's motion. So an important first step of the [[data reduction]] is to remove the contributions of *the [[Earth's orbit|Earth's elliptic motion]] around the Sun at approximately Β± 30 km/s, *a [[Orbit of the Moon|monthly rotation]] of Β± 13 m/s of the Earth around the center of gravity of the Earth-Moon system,<ref name="FMelloLNP683">{{cite book|first1=S. |last1=Ferraz-Mello |first2=T.
