Near-Infrared Variability in the 2MASS Calibration Fields: A Search for Planetary Transit Candidates

Peter Plavchan, M. Jura, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Roc M. Cutri, S. C. Gallagher

摘要:

在2MASS任务的四年期间,2MASS光度校准观测在35个“校准场”中覆盖约6平方度的天空,每个校准场在标称光度条件下采样562至3692次。我们编制了一个目录的变量从校准的观测,以寻找M矮星的太阳系外行星过境。我们提出了我们的方法来测量周期性和非周期性通量变化。从7554个源的表观KS星等在5.6和16.1之间,我们确定了247个变量,包括河外变量和23个周期变量。我们已经发现了三个M矮食系统,包括两个凌日系外行星的候选者。

英文摘要:

The 2MASS photometric calibration observations cover ~6 square degrees on the sky in 35 "calibration fields" each sampled in nominal photometric conditions between 562 and 3692 times during the four years of the 2MASS mission. We compile a catalog of variables from the calibration observations to search for M dwarfs transited by extra-solar planets. We present our methods for measuring periodic and non-periodic flux variability. From 7554 sources with apparent Ks magnitudes between 5.6 and 16.1, we identify 247 variables, including extragalactic variables and 23 periodic variables. We have discovered three M dwarf eclipsing systems, including two candidates for transiting extrasolar planets.
