AI 中文摘要
探测地球质量系外行星的径向速度信号，需要从光谱观测中表征并去除 granulation 诱导的径向速度变异性。通过将三维流体动力学（HD）模拟与辐射传输代码耦合，我们可分离并研究 granulation 对恒星谱线的影响。本研究分离了 granulation 对谱线形状和位移的影响，采用了迄今为止最大、最多样化的合成谱线样本。我们的目标有两个：第一，量化 granulation 如何影响 72 条未混叠谱线的形状和位移的时间演化，这些谱线覆盖 5500-5600 Å 和 6100-6200 Å 两个波长区域，从日面中心到恒星边缘；第二，研究谱线在形状变异性上是否表现出相干性。我们发现，弱线因 granulation 产生的径向速度变异性最大，日面中心可达 40 m/s，恒星边缘可达 50 m/s；而强线在恒星盘上的等值宽度变异性比弱线更大。此外，谱线的等值宽度和线深度与其径向速度呈强线性相关，granulation 会影响这三个量，而行星多普勒位移仅影响径向速度，为新的 granulation 消减方法打开了大门。最后，我们发现样本中大多数谱线的径向速度和等值宽度随时间相干演化，其中 Fe I 和 Ca I 谱线表现最为相似。由于这种相干性，谱线混叠不会显著影响 granulation 诱导的径向速度和线形状的时间行为；同时，谱线间的相干性为创建多条谱线的日面积分光谱提供了机会，这将在未来工作中探索。
英文摘要
Detecting the radial velocity signal of Earth-mass exoplanets requires the characterisation and removal of granulation-induced radial velocity variability from spectroscopic observations. By coupling three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic (HD) simulations to a radiative transfer code, we can isolate and study the effect of granulation on stellar lines. In this study we isolated the impact of granulation on spectral line shapes and shifts for the largest and most diverse synthetic spectral line sample to date. Our aims were twofold. First, we quantified how granulation affects the temporal evolution of shapes and shifts of 72 unblended spectral lines in two wavelength regions: 5500-5600 Å and 6100-6200 Å, from disc centre to the stellar limb. Second, we investigated if spectral lines behave coherently in their line shape variability. We find that weak lines show the largest radial-velocity variability due to granulation, up to 40 m/s at disc centre and 50 m/s at the stellar limb. On the other hand, strong lines exhibit larger variability in equivalent width than weak lines across the stellar disc. In addition, the equivalent width and line depth of a spectral line are strongly linearly correlated with its radial velocity. While granulation affects all three of these quantities, planetary Doppler shifts only affect radial velocities, opening the door to new granulation-mitigation methods. Lastly, we find that the radial velocity and equivalent width of most spectral lines in our sample evolve coherently in time, with the Fe I and Ca I lines behaving the most similarly. Due to the coherency, line blends will not significantly affect the temporal behaviour of RV and line shape, as induced by granulation. Besides, the coherency between spectral lines offer the opportunity to create disc-integrated spectra of many lines simultaneously, which will be explored in future work.
