摘要:

我们报告的技术发展,精确的径向速度测量冷星和褐矮星在近红外。我们的技术类似于碘(I2)吸收池的方法,已被证明是如此成功的光学制度。我们依靠大地甲烷吸收功能,作为一个波长参考,相对于我们测量的CO和H2O功能的多普勒频移在我们的目标的光谱。我们应用这种技术的高分辨率(R~50,000)光谱近2.3微米的9个L矮星与凤凰仪器双子座南,并展示了一个典型的精度为300米/秒。我们进行模拟来估计我们的预期精度,并显示我们的性能目前受到数据信噪比的限制。我们提出了我们的目标的旋转速度和系统速度的估计。根据我们目前的数据,我们对M sin i> 2MJ的伴星很敏感,其轨道周期小于3天。我们在目前的数据集中没有发现同伴。未来的观测与改进的信号噪声应导致径向速度精度为100米/秒的L矮星。

英文摘要:

We report on the development of a technique for precise radial-velocity measurements of cool stars and brown dwarfs in the near infrared. Our technique is analogous to the Iodine (I2) absorption cell method that has proven so successful in the optical regime. We rely on telluric CH4 absorption features to serve as a wavelength reference, relative to which we measure Doppler shifts of the CO and H2O features in the spectra of our targets. We apply this technique to high-resolution (R~50,000) spectra near 2.3 micron of nine L dwarfs taken with the Phoenix instrument on Gemini-South and demonstrate a typical precision of 300 m/s. We conduct simulations to estimate our expected precision and show our performance is currently limited by the signal-to-noise of our data. We present estimates of the rotational velocities and systemic velocities of our targets. With our current data, we are sensitive to companions with M sin i > 2MJ in orbits with periods less than three days. We identify no companions in our current data set. Future observations with improved signal-to-noise should result in radial-velocity precision of 100 m/s for L dwarfs.
