HET搜寻演化恒星周围的行星

A HET search for planets around evolved stars

Andrzej Niedzielski, Alex Wolszczan

摘要:

我们目前正在进行的调查~1000 GK巨星与9.2米的霍比-埃伯利望远镜在寻找周围的行星演化恒星。这次巡天所选的恒星都比11等亮,并且位于HR图的部分,该部分大致由主序带、不稳定带和日冕分界线界定。我们使用高分辨率摄谱仪获得恒星光谱的径向速度测量精度为4-6米/秒。到目前为止,该调查已经发现了K 0巨星HD 17092的行星质量伴星,并在其他恒星周围产生了许多看似合理的行星候选者。与其他类似的努力一起,我们的计划提供了关于中等质量主序星周围行星形成的信息,它将为研究演化恒星周围行星系统的动力学奠定实验基础。

英文摘要:

We present our ongoing survey of ~1000 GK-giants with the 9.2-m Hobby-Eberly Telescope in search for planets around evolved stars. The stars selected for this survey are brighter than 11 mag and are located in the section of the HR-diagram, which is approximately delimited by the main sequence, the instability strip, and the coronal dividing line. We use the High Resolution Spectrograph to obtain stellar spectra for radial velocity measurements with a 4-6 m/s precision. So far, the survey has discovered a planetary-mass companion to the K0-giant HD 17092, and it has produced a number of plausible planet candidates around other stars. Together with other similar efforts, our program provides information on planet formation around intermediate mass main sequence-progenitors and it will create the experimental basis with which to study dynamics of planetary systems around evolving stars.
