25年舔行星搜索

The Twenty-Five Year Lick Planet Search

Debra A. Fischer, Geoffrey W. Marcy, Julien F. P. Spronck

摘要:

利克行星搜索计划始于1987年,当时用碘电池和汉密尔顿摄谱仪拍摄了鲸鱼座$τ$的第一张光谱。仪器的升级改进了多普勒精度,从1992年的约10米/秒提高到1995年的约3米/秒。该项目探测到数十颗轨道周期从几天到几年不等的系外行星。利克巡天发现了第一颗在偏心轨道上运行的行星(室女座70号)和第一个围绕正常主序星运行的多行星系统(仙女座上升星)。这些发现推进了我们对行星形成和轨道迁移的理解。该项目的数据有助于量化主恒星金属丰度与气体巨行星出现率之间的相关性。该项目还作为创新的试验平台,测试了在Coud{é}焦点的倾斜系统和光纤扰频器设计,以稳定光谱仪光学系统的照明。当加热器故障危及碘电池的完整性时,用汉密尔顿摄谱仪进行的舔行星搜索有效地结束了。在这里,我们提供了1987年至2011年期间调查的386颗恒星的14,000多个速度。

英文摘要:

The Lick planet search program began in 1987 when the first spectrum of $τ$ Ceti was taken with an iodine cell and the Hamilton Spectrograph. Upgrades to the instrument improved the Doppler precision from about 10 m/s in 1992 to about 3 m/s in 1995. The project detected dozens of exoplanets with orbital periods ranging from a few days to several years. The Lick survey identified the first planet in an eccentric orbit (70 Virginis) and the first multi-planet system around a normal main sequence star (Upsilon Andromedae). These discoveries advanced our understanding of planet formation and orbital migration. Data from this project helped to quantify a correlation between host star metallicity and the occurrence rate of gas giant planets. The program also served as a test bed for innovation with testing of a tip-tilt system at the coud{é} focus and fiber scrambler designs to stabilize illumination of the spectrometer optics. The Lick planet search with the Hamilton spectrograph effectively ended when a heater malfunction compromised the integrity of the iodine cell. Here, we present more than 14,000 velocities for 386 stars that were surveyed between 1987 and 2011.
