  • Spektralanalyse Ausgewählter Carmenes Daten
    Master’s Thesis Spektralanalyse ausgewählter Carmenes Daten Spectroscopic analysis of Carmenes sample prepared by Andre Lamert from Merkers at the Institut für Astrophysik, Göttingen Thesis period: 1st April 2014 until 10th September 2014 First referee: Dr. Sandra Jeffers Second referee: Prof. Dr. Ansgar Reiners Abstract In the last years the number of detected exoplanets increased rapidly. Upcoming projects like CARMENES, which is planned to find terrestrial planets in the hab- itable zone of M-dwarfs, will close the gap of Earth-mass planets in the exoplanet distribution. This thesis investigates the spectral type, radial velocity and magnetic activity of candidate M-dwarfs for the CARMENES project input catalog CARMENCITA.It focuses on the determination of spectral M-type stars. Based on calibration func- tions of the code THE HAMMER, different atomic and molecular lines and bands are used to calculate spectral indices. With the aim of increasing the determination accuracy, I have written an algorithm which uses only few, but very sensitive indices. These are particular dominant for M-type stars. Additionally, the Hα line is used to determine the magnetic activity. To determine the spectral type, the radial velocity and an activity indicator I use 900 high-resolution spectra taken from 364 different stars of the input catalog. 348 of these spectra were provided as raw data from the CAFE spectrograph. I use the IDL-Package REDUCE for reduction and add a new flux extraction procedure and a modified order definition procedure to increase the extracted wavelength range and the quality of the extracted flux values. The writ- ten fast working spectral typing algorithm calculates quite accurate spectral types for high-resolution spectra, since the results of this typing confirm former results collected in CARMENCITA using low-resolution spectroscopy.

  • Star Systems in the Solar Neighborhood up to 10 Parsecs Distance
    Vol. 16 No. 3 June 15, 2020 Journal of Double Star Observations Page 229 Star Systems in the Solar Neighborhood up to 10 Parsecs Distance Wilfried R.A. Knapp Vienna, Austria [email protected] Abstract: The stars and star systems in the solar neighborhood are for obvious reasons the most likely best investigated stellar objects besides the Sun. Very fast proper motion catches the attention of astronomers and the small distances to the Sun allow for precise measurements so the wealth of data for most of these objects is impressive. This report lists 94 star systems (doubles or multiples most likely bound by gravitation) in up to 10 parsecs distance from the Sun as well over 60 questionable objects which are for different reasons considered rather not star systems (at least not within 10 parsecs) but might be if with a small likelihood. A few of the listed star systems are newly detected and for several systems first or updated preliminary orbits are suggested. A good part of the listed nearby star systems are included in the GAIA DR2 catalog with par- allax and proper motion data for at least some of the components – this offers the opportunity to counter-check the so far reported data with the most precise star catalog data currently available. A side result of this counter-check is the confirmation of the expectation that the GAIA DR2 single star model is not well suited to deliver fully reliable parallax and proper motion data for binary or multiple star systems. 1. Introduction high proper motion speed might cause visually noticea- The answer to the question at which distance the ble position changes from year to year.

Mars Hill Rd., Flagstaff, AZ, USA Received 2015 January 6; accepted 2015 February 26; published 2015 May 4 ABSTRACT Precise and accurate parameters for late-type (late K and M) dwarf stars are important for characterization of any orbiting planets, but such determinations have been hampered by these stars’ complex spectra and dissimilarity to the Sun. We exploit an empirically calibrated method to estimate spectroscopic effective temperature (Teff) and the Stefan–Boltzmann law to determine radii of 183 nearby K7–M7 single stars with a precision of 2%–5%. Our improved stellar parameters enable us to develop model-independent relations between Teff or absolute magnitude and radius, as well as between color and Teff. The derived Teff–radius relation depends strongly on [Fe/H],as predicted by theory.

We have confirmed the first Earth-sized planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a star other than the Sun. This planet is named Kepler-186f and it is one of five planets that have thus far been detected by NASA’s Kepler space telescope in orbit about the star Kepler-186. This star is smaller and cooler than the Sun, of a type called an M-dwarf or red dwarf, and all its known planets are small as well, with sizes less than 1.5 times the size of Earth. The planet Kepler-186f is the smallest, being within 10% of the size of Earth and orbits furthest from the host star, within the habitable zone. This is the region around a star within which a planet can sustain liquid water on its surface given the right atmospheric conditions. The Kepler-186 planetary system lies in the direction of the constellation Cygnus, about 500 light-years away.
