摘要:

我们正在使用HARPS光谱仪搜索太阳双星样本周围的行星。该项目的目标是利用太阳双胞胎提供的优势,以获得无与伦比的精确度的化学丰度。这项调查将使新的研究的恒星组成-行星的联系。在这里,我们使用麦哲伦粘土望远镜上的MIKE摄谱仪来获取样本恒星的高分辨率、高信噪比光谱。我们测量了铁谱线的等效宽度,并采用严格的差分激发/电离平衡分析,确定了前所未有的内部精度的大气参数(DTeff= 7 K,Dlogg=0.019,D[Fe/H]=0.006dex,Dvt=0.016km/s)。然后使用理论等时线估计可靠的相对年龄和高度精确的质量。我们推导出的光谱参数与使用其他独立的技术测量的光谱参数符合得很好。观测到的差异的均方根散射与观测误差完全一致,这表明,正如迄今为止所假设的那样,恒星参数的系统不确定性在太阳孪星的研究中可以忽略不计。我们发现我们的样本恒星的活动,年龄的关系紧密,这验证了我们的定年方法的内部精度。此外,我们发现,太阳活动周期是完全符合这一趋势和它的恒星到恒星的散射。我们提出了最大的太阳孪晶样品均匀使用高质量的光谱分析。从这项工作中获得的基本参数将用于后续的工作,旨在探索行星形成和恒星化学成分之间的联系。

英文摘要:

We are carrying out a search for planets around a sample of solar twin stars using the HARPS spectrograph. The goal of this project is to exploit the advantage offered by solar twins to obtain chemical abundances of unmatched precision. This survey will enable new studies of the stellar composition -- planet connection. Here we used the MIKE spectrograph on the Magellan Clay Telescope to acquire high resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio spectra of our sample stars. We measured the equivalent widths of iron lines and used strict differential excitation/ionization balance analysis to determine atmospheric parameters of unprecedented internal precision (DTeff=7K, Dlogg=0.019, D[Fe/H]=0.006dex, Dvt=0.016km/s). Reliable relative ages and highly precise masses were then estimated using theoretical isochrones. The spectroscopic parameters we derived are in good agreement with those measured using other independent techniques. The root-mean-square scatter of the differences seen is fully compatible with the observational errors, demonstrating, as assumed thus far, that systematic uncertainties in the stellar parameters are negligible in the study of solar twins. We find a tight activity-age relation for our sample stars, which validates the internal precision of our dating method. Furthermore, we find that the solar cycle is perfectly consistent both with this trend and its star-to-star scatter. We present the largest sample of solar twins analyzed homogeneously using high quality spectra. The fundamental parameters derived from this work will be employed in subsequent work that aims to explore the connections between planet formation and stellar chemical composition.
