摘要:

在寻找晚型恒星的低质量伴星时,径向速度变化和线平分线斜率变化之间的相关性表明受到大恒星黑子的污染。两颗年轻的恒星表明,这个测试不足以排除恒星黑子是径向速度变化的原因。作为我们对金牛座T星的亚恒星伴星调查的一部分,我们确定了大约200万年前的行星宿主候选者DN Tau和V836 Tau。在这两种情况下,可见光径向速度调制出现周期性的,是不相关的线平分线跨度的变化,这表明在这些系统中的几个M_Jup密切的同伴。然而,高分辨率的红外光谱显示,恒星黑子导致径向速度的变化。我们还报告了V827 Tau的明确结果,根据可见光和红外光谱确定为斑点星。我们的研究结果表明,红外跟踪观测是至关重要的,以确定在年轻的径向速度调制源,斑点星。

英文摘要:

In searches for low-mass companions to late-type stars, correlation between radial velocity variations and line bisector slope changes indicates contamination by large starspots. Two young stars demonstrate that this test is not sufficient to rule out starspots as a cause of radial velocity variations. As part of our survey for substellar companions to T Tauri stars, we identified the ~2 Myr old planet host candidates DN Tau and V836 Tau. In both cases, visible light radial velocity modulation appears periodic and is uncorrelated with line bisector span variations, suggesting close companions of several M_Jup in these systems. However, high-resolution, infrared spectroscopy shows that starspots cause the radial velocity variations. We also report unambiguous results for V827 Tau, identified as a spotted star on the basis of both visible light and infrared spectroscopy. Our results suggest that infrared follow up observations are critical for determining the source of radial velocity modulation in young, spotted stars.
