一种用于极端精度径向速度（EPRV）光谱仪的有前景新架构，用于搜寻由轨道行星引发的小振幅恒星多普勒位移，该架构是利用自适应光学系统馈送的单模光纤构建衍射极限仪器。然而，在衍射极限下观测时，目标恒星会被部分分辨，由此产生的径向速度（RV）预计会受到差分临边耦合（DLC）的影响，该效应指恒星盘的红移侧和蓝移侧以不等的方式耦合到光谱仪中，对于即将用于凯克II的HISPEC光谱仪的近距EPRV目标恒星，会产生量级为m/s的RV误差项。我们首次尝试直接测量由DLC产生的RV位移，使用衍射极限光谱仪PARVI，以验证DLC的预期行为，进而为HISPEC及其他未来仪器开发缓解策略。我们概述了旨在产生数百m/s量级DLC诱导RV位移的观测策略，并描述了使用PARVI开展该实验的执行情况。我们利用这些数据表征PARVI的 Tip-Tilt 导星相机及其性能，且已开始对导出的RV进行分析，不过该研究已被证明较为复杂，因为RV与其他仪器和算法效应深度纠缠。
英文摘要
A promising new architecture for extreme-precision radial velocity (EPRV) spectrographs, hunting for small-amplitude stellar Doppler shifts induced by orbiting planets, is to build diffraction-limited instruments by using single-mode fibers fed by an adaptive optics system. However, the target stars are partially resolved when observing at the diffraction limit, and the resulting RVs are expected to be affected by differential limb coupling (DLC), an effect where the red- and blue-shifted sides of the stellar disk are coupled unequally into the spectrograph, producing an RV error term on the order of m/s for nearby EPRV target stars for the upcoming HISPEC spectrograph for Keck II. We present our efforts to directly measure the RV shifts resulting from DLC for the first time, using the diffraction-limited spectrograph PARVI, in order to verify the expected behavior of DLC and subsequently develop mitigation strategies for HISPEC and other future instruments. We outline an observing strategy designed to produce DLC-induced RV shifts of hundreds of m/s, and describe the execution of this experiment with PARVI. We use these data to characterize the PARVI tip-tilt guide camera and its performance, and have begun analysis of the derived RVs, though this investigation has proven complicated since the RVs are deeply entangled with other instrumental and algorithmic effects.
