恒星振动对多普勒速度行星轨道的影响

The Impact of Stellar Oscillations on Doppler Velocity Planet Searches

S. J. O'Toole, C. G. Tinney, H. R. A. Jones

摘要:

我们提出了一个定量的研究多普勒速度行星搜索的恒星振荡的影响。使用四个星震观测活动的数据,我们发现这些振荡对多普勒速度的噪声影响和目标恒星的亮度-质量和观测到的积分时间之间的幂律关系。包括振荡抖动的影响应改善开普勒拟合多普勒速度数据的质量。这些振荡对多普勒速度测量的影响规模小于恒星活动产生的影响,但对巨星和亚巨星最显着,并且在短积分时间内(即小于几分钟)。如此短的观测时间往往只用于非常明亮的恒星。然而,由于这些恒星往往是最高精度观测的目标,随着行星搜索探测到越来越低的行星质量,这些恒星的振荡噪声可能很大,需要在观测策略中考虑。

英文摘要:

We present a quantitative investigation of the effect of stellar oscillations on Doppler velocity planet searches. Using data from four asteroseismological observation campaigns, we find a power law relationship between the noise impact of these oscillations on Doppler velocities and both the luminosity-to-mass of the target stars, and observed integration times. Including the impact of oscillation jitter should improve the quality of Keplerian fits to Doppler velocity data. The scale of the effect these oscillations have on Doppler velocity measurements is smaller than that produced by stellar activity, but is most significant for giant and subgiant stars, and at short integration times (i.e. less than a few minutes). Such short observation times tend to be used only for very bright stars. However, since it is these very same stars that tend to be targeted for the highest precision observations, as planet searches probe to lower and lower planet masses, oscillation noise for these stars can be significant and needs to be accounted for in observing strategies.
