径向速度行星凌日探测

Transit Detection of Radial Velocity Planets

Stephen R. Kane, Kaspar von Braun

摘要:

太阳系外行星的轨道参数对行星凌日的概率有很大的影响。最近对HD 17156 b的凌日探测就证明了这一点,其有利的偏心率和近星点角极大地增加了其凌日的可能性。我们提出了一个研究,提供了一个定量分析这两个轨道参数如何影响的几何过境概率作为一个函数的周期。此外,我们将这些结果应用于已知的径向速度行星,并表明行星在相对较长的周期内有出乎意料的高过境概率。对于一个光度监测活动,其目的是确定行星是否确实过境,我们计算的意义,一个空的结果和随后的限制,可能会被应用到轨道参数。

英文摘要:

The orbital parameters of extra-solar planets have a significant impact on the probability that the planet will transit the host star. This was recently demonstrated by the transit detection of HD 17156b whose favourable eccentricity and argument of periastron dramatically increased its transit likelihood. We present a study which provides a quantitative analysis of how these two orbital parameters effect the geometric transit probability as a function of period. Further, we apply these results to known radial velocity planets and show that there are unexpectedly high transit probabilities for planets at relatively long periods. For a photometric monitoring campaign which aims to determine if the planet indeed transits, we calculate the significance of a null result and the subsequent constraints that may be applied to orbital parameters.
