Friday, 15 November 13 5 Gaia: estimates for (very) hot (Dzigan & Zucker 2012)

advantages: 1 mmag photometric accuracy Simulations account for planet disadvantages: n(measures), low cadence frequency, detection probability, stellar density, false detections, etc assumes 2-hr transit duration

Conclusion: few hundred to a few thousand discoveries (with the need for high-precision RV follow-up) Friday, 15 November 13 6 Photometry: planetary accretion events?

FH Leo (Dall et al. 2005): • suggestion: a planetary accretion event • rapid magnitude rise suggests asteroid mass such as or Vesta • decay over ~ 17 days • abundances of α-elements and Li • but may be a nova (Vogt 2006)

Friday, 15 November 13 8 Distances and motions

Examples: • distances provide stellar parameters • e.g. transit planet diameters ∝ stellar diameters • verification of seismology models for M, R • proper motions characterise population(s) e.g. HIP 13044 low- Galactic halo stream (Helmi+1999, Setiawan+2010) • Galactic birthplace based on metallicity-age e.g. Wielen (1996) inferred that the ’s birthplace was at R=6.6 kpc

Friday, 15 November 13 9 Asteroseismology

Can hope to discriminate: • primordial or self-enriched metallicity (bulk/surface): μ Ara (Pepe 2007), ι Hor (Laymand 2007) • planet radii calibrated wrt stellar radii: HAT-P-7 (Christensen-Dalsgaard+ 2010) • mass estimates cf isochrone models: β Gem, HD13189 (Hatzes+ 2008) • etc

For this, verification of the models by comparing -based L with asteroseismology

Friday, 15 November 13 15 Astrometric analysis: principles

50 • as the satellite traces out a series of great circles on the sky, each is (effectively) instantaneously stationary 0 • each star has a 2d position (abscissa and ordinate) projected onto that great circle • in principle one should solve for both –50 coordinates (milli-arcsec)

• in practice, only the projection along the

∆δ great circle (abscissa) dominates the ‘great- –100 circle solution’ • least-squares adjustment gives the along- scan position of each star at that –150 • all great circles over the entire mission are then ‘assembled’ • a star’s position at any time t is represented –200 by just five parameters: position (xy), proper –150 –100 –50 0 50 motion components (μx, μy), parallax (π) ∆α cos δ (milli-arcsec)

Friday, 15 November 13 16 Direct access to planet mass

orbiting body pericentre descending node r z ν(t) reference plane

ω ellipse focus ≡ ϒ = Keplerian orbit in 3d determined by 7 parameters: centre of mass reference i direction a, e: specify size and shape Ω = longitude of P: related to a and (Kepler’s 3rd law) ascending node ascending node tp: the position along orbit at some reference time i, Ω,ω: represent projections wrt observer orbit plane ⇓ to observer apocentre Radial velocity measures: • cannot determine Ω, • only determine the combination a sin i • only determine Mp sin i if M* can be estimated • cannot determine Δi for multiple planets

All 7 parameters are determinable by astrometry (±180º on Ω). Conceptually: • xy(t) yields max and min angular rates, and hence the line of apsides (major axis) • then appeal to Kepler’s third law fixes the orbit inclination

Friday, 15 November 13 17 The ‘tragic history’ of astrometric planet detection

• Jacob (1855) 70 Oph: orbital anomalies made it ‘highly probable’ that there was a ‘planetary body’; supported by See (1895); orbit shown as unstable (Moulton 1899) • Holmberg (1938): from parallax residuals... `Proxima Centauri probably has a companion’ of a few masses

• Reuyl & Holmberg (1943) 70 Oph: planetary companion of ~10 MJ

• Strand (1943) 61 Cyg: companion of ~16 MJ • lengthy disputes about planets around Barnard’s star: van der Kamp (1963, 1982) • similarly for Lalande 21185 (e.g. Lippincott 1960) • Pravdo & Shaklan (2009) vB10 with Palomar-STEPS, later disproved (Bean 2010) • Muterspaugh+ (2010) HD~176051, only current detection: ‘may represent either the first such companion detected, or the latest in the tragic history of this challenging approach.’ • early discussions of space astrometry/Hipparcos exoplanet capabilities: • Couteau & Pecker (1964), Gliese (1982)

Friday, 15 November 13 18 Astrometric signature

Hipparcos astrometry is marginal for detection (and mass determination)

Friday, 15 November 13 19 Gaia: number of astrometric detections

• Gaia was studied since 1997; accepted in 2000; launch: 20 December 2013 • early estimates of 10−30,000 detectable exoplanets were based on target accuracies at time of acceptance (Lattanzi et al 2000, Perryman et al 2001, Quist 2001, Sozzetti et al 2001), and are no longer applicable • more recent estimates (Castertano+ 2008): • single measurement error for bright stars σψ ~ 8 μas • reliable detections for P<5 years and α > 3σψ • at 2x this limit, errors on orbits and masses are ~ 15−20% • > 70% of 2-planet systems with 0.2 < P < 9 yr and e < 0.6 are identified • typical uncertainties on Δi for favourable systems are <10o • bottom line: • discover/measure several thousand giant planets with a =3−4 AU and d < 200pc • characterise hundreds of multiple systems with meaningful tests of coplanarity

Friday, 15 November 13 20 For multiple planet systems...

Drawing on extensive radial velocity work, multiple systems can be fit by (e.g.) recursive decomposition Non-linearity of the fitting for Gaia/SIM: considered by Casertano et al (2008), Wright & Howard (2009), Traub et al (2010)

Friday, 15 November 13 25 Exoplanets and the solar dynamo

Friday, 15 November 13 26 Now for something contentious...

• solar axial rotation is invoked in models of the solar cycle (e.g. turbulent dynamo operating in or below the convection envelope) • precise nature of the dynamo, and details of associated solar activity (sun spot cycles, and the prolonged Maunder-type solar minima) are unexplained • empirical investigations have long pointed to a link between the Sun’s barycentric motion and various solar variability indices (e.g. Wolf, 1859; Brown, 1900; Schuster, 1911; Jose, 1965; Ferris, 1969), specifically: • the Wolf sun spot number counts (Wood & Wood, 1965) • climatic changes (Mörth & Schlamminger, 1979; Scafetta, 2010) • the 80-90-yr secular Gleissberg cycles (Landscheidt, 1981, 1999) • prolonged Maunder-type minima (Fairbridge & Shirley, 1987; Charvátová, 1990, 2000) • short-term variations in solar luminosity (Sperber et al., 1990) • sun spot extrema (Landscheidt, 1999) • the 2400-yr cycle seen in 14C tree-ring proxies (Charvátová, 2000) • hemispheric sun spot asymmetry (Juckett, 2000) • torsional oscillations in long-term sun spot clustering (Juckett, 2003) • violations of the Gnevishev–Ohl sun spot rule (Javaraiah, 2005)

Proposed coupling mechanisms between the solar axial rotation and orbital revolution: • Zaqarashvili (1997), Juckett (2000), contested by Shirley (2006) • Abreu (2012): time-dependent torque exerted by the planets on a non-spherical tachocline • Callebaut & de Jager (2012): effect considered as negligible

Friday, 15 November 13 28 Exoplanets can arbitrate (Perryman & Schulze-Hartung 2011)

• behaviour cited as correlated with the Sun’s activity includes • changes in orbital angular momentum, dL/dt • intervals of negative orbital angular momentum • these are common (but more extreme) in exoplanet systems • HD 168443 and HD 74156 have dL/dt exceeding that of the Sun by more than 105 • activity monitoring should therefore offer an independent test of the hypothetical link between: • the Sun’s barycentric motion • and the many manifestations of solar activity

• radial velocity observations determine only Mp sin i For ν And, McArthur et al (2010) found: • astrometric measurements determine Mp directly • Mp (ν And c) = 14.0 MJ • and hence relative inclinations (van der Kamp 1981): • Mp (ν And d) = 10.2 MJ • Δi = 29.9°±1° the first direct determination of relative orbit inclinations

Friday, 15 November 13 32 Importance of Δi

• Δi ~ 0 in the • various evidence that this is not necessarily the rule in exoplanets: (1) long-term dynamical stability (via numerical integrations) ⇒ some cannot be coplanar
