Box 68, FIN-00014 Helsinki, Finland [email protected] Abstract. The periodogram and its variants have been extensively used in the past for estimating the power spectral density. In this book chapter, we consider the case when the measurements are not equidistantly spaced on the time-axis, and we focus on testing the significance of the periodogram peaks. Because it is known that the standard tests of hypothesis testing are not suitable for this problem, we propose the use of Stochastic Complexity (SC). The performance of SC is evaluated in comparison with the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC), which has been employed in the previous literature to solve the same problem. The numerical experiments on radial velocity measurements demonstrate that SC compares favorably with BIC. Keywords: periodogram, Bayesian Information Criterion, Stochastic Complexity, radial velocity data, extrasolar planet. 1 Introduction The history of using a periodogram for spectrum estimation can be traced back to 1900

Fiteni VI, 28760 Tres Cantos, Madrid, Spain; eHE Space Operations BV, Huygensstraat 44, 2201 DK Noordwijk, The Netherlands; fCalifornia Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, 91125, USA ABSTRACT ESA’s Gaia space astrometry mission is performing an all-sky survey of stellar objects. At the beginning of the nominal mission in July 2014, an operation scheme was adopted that enabled Gaia to routinely acquire observations of all stars brighter than the original limit of G∼6, i.e. the naked-eye stars. Here, we describe the current status and extent of those observations and their on-ground processing. We present an overview of the data products generated for G<6 stars and the potential scientific applications. Finally, we discuss how the Gaia survey could be enhanced by further exploiting the techniques we developed. Keywords: Gaia, Astrometry, Proper motion, Parallax, Bright Stars, Extrasolar planets, CCD 1. INTRODUCTION There are about 6000 stars that can be observed with the unaided human eye. Greek astronomer Hipparchus used these stars to define the magnitude system still in use today, in which the faintest stars had an apparent visual magnitude of 6.

  • Apus Constellation Visible at Latitudes Between +5° and -90°
    Apus Constellation Visible at latitudes between +5° and -90°. Best visible at 21:00 (9 p.m.) during the month of July. Apus is a small constellation in the southern sky. It represents a bird-of-paradise, and its name means "without feet" in Greek because the bird-of-paradise was once wrongly believed to lack feet. First depicted on a celestial globe by Petrus Plancius in 1598, it was charted on a star atlas by Johann Bayer in his 1603 Uranometria. The French explorer and astronomer Nicolas Louis de Lacaille charted and gave the brighter stars their Bayer designations in 1756. The five brightest stars are all reddish in hue. Shading the others at apparent magnitude 3.8 is Alpha Apodis, an orange giant that has around 48 times the diameter and 928 times the luminosity of the Sun. Marginally fainter is Gamma Apodis, another ageing giant star. Delta Apodis is a double star, the two components of which are 103 arcseconds apart and visible with the naked eye. Two star systems have been found to have planets. Apus was one of twelve constellations published by Petrus Plancius from the observations of Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser and Frederick de Houtman who had sailed on the first Dutch trading expedition, known as the Eerste Schipvaart, to the East Indies. It first appeared on a 35-cm diameter celestial globe published in 1598 in Amsterdam by Plancius with Jodocus Hondius. De Houtman included it in his southern star catalogue in 1603 under the Dutch name De Paradijs Voghel, "The Bird of Paradise", and Plancius called the constellation Paradysvogel Apis Indica; the first word is Dutch for "bird of paradise".

Dean of College of Science & Engineering A SEARCH FOR VARIABILITY AND TRANSIT SIGNATURES IN HIPPARCOS PHOTOMETRIC DATA Badrinath Thirumalachari San Francisco State University 2018 The study and characterization of exoplanets has picked up pace rapidly over the past few decades with the invention of newer techniques and instruments. Detecting transits in stellar photometric data around stars already known to harbor exoplanets is crucial for exoplanet characterization. Due to these advancements we now have oceans of data and coming up with an automated way of performing exoplanet characterization is a challenge. In this thesis I describe one such method to search for transits in Hipparcos dataset containing photometric data for over 118000 stars. The radial velocity method has discovered a lot of planets around bright host stars and a follow up transit detection will give us the density of the exoplanet.

ON THE INCLINATION DEPENDENCE OF EXOPLANET PHASE SIGNATURES Stephen R. Kane and Dawn M. Gelino NASA Exoplanet Science Institute, Caltech, MS 100-22, 770 South Wilson Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA; [email protected] Received 2011 December 2; accepted 2011 January 5; published 2011 February 10 ABSTRACT Improved photometric sensitivity from space-based telescopes has enabled the detection of phase variations for a small sample of hot Jupiters. However, exoplanets in highly eccentric orbits present unique opportunities to study the effects of drastically changing incident flux on the upper atmospheres of giant planets. Here we expand upon previous studies of phase functions for these planets at optical wavelengths by investigating the effects of orbital inclination on the flux ratio as it interacts with the other effects induced by orbital eccentricity. We determine optimal orbital inclinations for maximum flux ratios and combine these calculations with those of projected separation for application to coronagraphic observations. These are applied to several of the known exoplanets which may serve as potential targets in current and future coronagraph experiments. Key words: planetary systems – techniques: photometric 1. INTRODUCTION and inclination for a given eccentricity. We further calculate projected separations at apastron as a function of inclination The changing phases of an exoplanet as it orbits the host star and determine their correspondence with maximum flux ratio have long been considered as a means for their detection and locations.

The Terms of Reference and membership for WG Star Names (WGSN) are provided at the IAU website: https://www.iau.org/science/scientific_bodies/working_groups/280/. ​ ​ ​ WGSN was re-proposed to Division C and was approved in April 2019 as a functional WG whose scope extends beyond the normal 3-year cycle of IAU working groups. The WGSN was specifically called out on p. 22 of IAU Strategic Plan 2020-2030: “The IAU serves as the ​ internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and their surface features. To do so, the IAU has a number of Working Groups on various topics, most notably on the nomenclature of small bodies in the Solar System and planetary systems under Division F and on Star Names under Division C.” WGSN continues its long term activity of researching cultural astronomy literature for star names, and researching etymologies with the goal of adding this information to the WGSN’s online materials.

Física Teórica, Módulo 15, Facultad de Ciencias, Campus de Cantoblanco, 28049 Madrid, Spain Received 22 November 2016 / Accepted 9 February 2017 ABSTRACT Context. Recent studies have shown that close-in brown dwarfs in the mass range 35–55 MJup are almost depleted as companions to stars, suggesting that objects with masses above and below this gap might have di↵erent formation mechanisms. Aims. We aim to test whether stars harbouring massive brown dwarfs and stars with low-mass brown dwarfs show any chemical peculiarity that could be related to di↵erent formation processes. Methods. Our methodology is based on the analysis of high-resolution échelle spectra (R 57 000) from 2–3 m class telescopes. We determine the fundamental stellar parameters, as well as individual abundances of C, O,⇠ Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, Ca, Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, and Zn for a large sample of stars known to have a substellar companion in the brown dwarf regime.
