摘要:

系外行星的宿主恒星的精确参数对于解释不断出现的新行星系统非常重要。CoRoT卫星最近发现了一颗过境的岩石行星,其密度类似于我们太阳系中的内行星,即所谓的超级地球。这颗行星围绕着一颗相对暗淡的G9 V恒星CoRoT-7运行,我们希望改进它的物理特性,这对于解释行星系统的特性非常重要。我们使用来自HARPS@ESO-3.6m和UVES@VLT-8.2m的光谱。从Fe-1和Fe-2线的分析,我们确定Teff,log g和微湍流。我们使用Balmer线来约束Teff和压力敏感Mg-1b和Ca线来约束log g。从分析中,我们发现Teff=5250 ± 60 K,log g = 4.47 ± 0.05,[M/H]=+0.12 ± 0.06,vsini = 1.1 km/s。我们比较了L/M比与等时线,以限制进化状态。利用基于恒星活动的1.2-2.3 Gyr的年龄估计,我们确定了质量和半径为0.91+-0.03 Msun和0.82+-0.04 Rsun。利用这些更新的约束,我们拟合了CoRoT-7 b的CoRoT过境光变曲线。我们将行星半径修正得稍微小一点,R = 1.58+-0.10 Rearth,密度变高,rho = 7.2+-1.8 g/cm 3。主恒星CoRoT-7是一颗缓慢旋转、富含金属、未演化的G9 V型恒星。这颗恒星相对较暗(V=11.7),它的基本参数只能通过间接方法来确定。我们的方法依赖于详细的光谱分析,这取决于所采用的模型大气。从分析恒星的光谱与众所周知的参数与类似的参数CoRoT-7(太阳和α Cen B),我们证明了我们的方法是强大的声称的不确定性。因此,我们的方法可以可靠地用于类似的系外行星宿主恒星的后续分析。

英文摘要:

Accurate parameters of the host stars of exoplanets are important for the interpretation of the new planet systems that continue to emerge. The CoRoT satellite recently discovered a transiting rocky planet with a density similar to the inner planets in our solar system, a so-called Super Earth. This planet is orbiting a relatively faint G9V star called CoRoT-7, and we wish to refine its physical properties, which are important for the interpretation of the properties of the planet system. We used spectra from HARPS@ESO-3.6m and UVES@VLT-8.2m. From the analysis of Fe-1 and Fe-2 lines we determine Teff, log g and microturbulence. We use the Balmer lines to constrain Teff and pressure sensitive Mg-1b and Ca lines to constrain log g. From the analysis we find Teff=5250+-60K, log g = 4.47+-0.05, [M/H]=+0.12+-0.06, and vsini = 1.1 km/s. We compared the L/M ratio with isochrones to constrain the evolutionary status. Using the age estimate of 1.2-2.3 Gyr based on stellar activity, we determine the mass and radius 0.91+-0.03 Msun and 0.82+-0.04 Rsun. With these updated constraints we fitted the CoRoT transit light curve for CoRoT-7b. We revise the planet radius to be slightly smaller, R = 1.58+-0.10 Rearth, and the density becomes higher, rho = 7.2+-1.8 g/cm3. The host star CoRoT-7 is a slowly rotating, metal rich, unevolved type G9V star. The star is relatively faint (V=11.7) and its fundamental parameters can only be determined through indirect methods. Our methods rely on detailed spectral analyses that depend on the adopted model atmospheres. From the analysis of spectra of stars with well-known parameters with similar parameters to CoRoT-7 (the Sun and alpha Cen B) we demonstrate that our methods are robust within the claimed uncertainties. Therefore our methods can be reliably used in subsequent analyses of similar exoplanet host stars.
