从意大利阿尔卑斯山测光Transit搜寻冷星周围的行星:可行性研究的结果
A Photometric Transit Search for Planets around Cool Stars from the Italian Alps: Results from a Feasibility Study
摘要:
在奥斯塔谷自治区天文观测台进行了一项可行性研究,表明该观测台是一个准备就绪的地点,可以开展即将开展的观测活动,目的是探测围绕附近冷M型矮星运行的小型(R<R_海王星)凌日行星。2009年5月至8月,利用25厘米f/3.8马克苏托夫望远镜监测了三个已知的凌日行星系统。对于V<13的恒星,我们达到了与视见无关的最佳光度RMS小于0.003等,整个观测期间的中值RMS为0.006等。
英文摘要:
A feasibility study was carried out at the Astronomical Observatory of the Autonomous Region of the Aosta Valley demonstrating that it is a well-poised site to conduct an upcoming observing campaign aimed at detecting small-size (R<R_Neptune) transiting planets around nearby cool M dwarf stars. Three known transiting planet systems were monitored from May to August 2009 with a 25 cm f/3.8 Maksutov telescope. We reached seeing-independent, best-case photometric RMS less than 0.003 mag for stars with V<13, with a median RMS of 0.006 mag for the whole observing period.
