摘要:

多普勒方法探测系外行星非常成功,但受到恒星活动的污染噪音的影响。在这项工作中,一个旋转的恒星模型的磁场的基础上的几何形状的K2恒星Ependieridani的,并用于估计其模拟径向速度测量的效果。在从八年的分光偏振观测中获得的观测到的大尺度磁图之上,模拟了一些不同分布的未分辨磁斑。径向速度信号,由于磁点的振幅高达10米秒$^{-1}$,高到足以防止检测到行星下20地球质量的温带太阳型恒星。我们表明,径向速度在很大程度上取决于斑点分布。我们的研究结果强调,了解恒星的磁活动和斑点分布是至关重要的地球类似物的检测。

英文摘要:

The Doppler method of exoplanet detection has been extremely successful, but suffers from contaminating noise from stellar activity. In this work a model of a rotating star with a magnetic field based on the geometry of the K2 star Epsilon Eridani is presented and used to estimate its effect on simulated radial velocity measurements. A number of different distributions of unresolved magnetic spots were simulated on top of the observed large-scale magnetic maps obtained from eight years of spectropolarimetric observations. The radial velocity signals due to the magnetic spots have amplitudes of up to 10 m s$^{-1}$, high enough to prevent the detection of planets under 20 Earth masses in temperate zones of solar type stars. We show that the radial velocity depends heavily on spot distribution. Our results emphasize that understanding stellar magnetic activity and spot distribution is crucial for detection of Earth analogues.
