在星团中寻找行星凌日

Searching for Planetary Transits in Star Clusters

David T. F. Weldrake

摘要:

星团提供了一个很好的机会来研究环境对决定短周期行星频率的作用。它们提供了大量的恒星样本,可以同时成像,具有共同的距离、年龄和预定的物理参数。这使得搜索可以为每个特定的集群量身定制。有几个小组正试图在疏散星团中探测凌日行星。之前的三次巡天也瞄准了两个最亮的球状星团。迄今为止,还没有星团调查发现行星。这篇文章简要介绍了该领域的概况,突出了执行这样的搜索的优点和缺点,并提出了预期的和目前的结果,与行星的频率在高恒星密度和低金属含量的地区的影响。

英文摘要:

Star clusters provide an excellent opportunity to study the role of environment on determining the frequencies of short period planets. They provide a large sample of stars which can be imaged simultaneously, with a common distance, age and pre-determined physical parameters. This allows the search to be tailor-made for each specific cluster. Several groups are attempting to detect transiting planets in open clusters. Three previous surveys have also targeted the two brightest globular clusters. No cluster survey has yet detected a planet. This contribution presents a brief overview of the field, highlighting the pros and cons of performing such a search, and presents the expected and current results, with implications for planetary frequencies in regions of high stellar density and low metallicity.
