EChO光谱和恒星活动II。dM恒星的情况

EChO spectra and stellar activity II. The case of dM stars

G. Scandariato, G. Micela

摘要:

EChO是一项专门研究系外行星大气的任务。在提取行星信号时,必须注意宿主恒星的变化,这会引入光谱失真,可能被误认为是行星信号。磁变率是一个主要问题,特别是对M星。为此,假设恒星光球为单光斑主导模型,我们开发了一种观测-理论混合工具,从观测到的光谱中提取光斑参数。这种方法依赖于一个强大的光谱M模板库,我们使用SDSS数据库中安静的M矮星的观测光谱获得。我们的程序允许校正所观察到的光谱的光球活动在大多数分析的情况下,减少光谱失真的噪声水平。不断完善的模板库和算法将提高我们的算法的效率。

英文摘要:

EChO is a dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres. When extracting the planetary signal, one has to take care of the variability of the hosting star, which introduces spectral distortion that can be mistaken as planetary signal. Magnetic variability is a major deal in particular for M stars. To this purpose, assuming a one spot dominant model for the stellar photosphere, we develop a mixed observational-theoretical tool to extract the spot's parameters from the observed optical spectrum. This method relies on a robust library of spectral M templates, which we derive using the observed spectra of quiet M dwarfs in the SDSS database. Our procedure allows to correct the observed spectra for photospheric activity in most of the analyzed cases, reducing the spectral distortion down to the noise levels. Ongoing refinements of the template library and the algorithm will improve the efficiency of our algorithm.
