  • Catalog of Nearby Exoplanets
    Catalog of Nearby Exoplanets1 R. P. Butler2, J. T. Wright3, G. W. Marcy3,4, D. A Fischer3,4, S. S. Vogt5, C. G. Tinney6, H. R. A. Jones7, B. D. Carter8, J. A. Johnson3, C. McCarthy2,4, A. J. Penny9,10 ABSTRACT We present a catalog of nearby exoplanets. It contains the 172 known low- mass companions with orbits established through radial velocity and transit mea- surements around stars within 200 pc. We include 5 previously unpublished exo- planets orbiting the stars HD 11964, HD 66428, HD 99109, HD 107148, and HD 164922. We update orbits for 90 additional exoplanets including many whose orbits have not been revised since their announcement, and include radial ve- locity time series from the Lick, Keck, and Anglo-Australian Observatory planet searches. Both these new and previously published velocities are more precise here due to improvements in our data reduction pipeline, which we applied to archival spectra. We present a brief summary of the global properties of the known exoplanets, including their distributions of orbital semimajor axis, mini- mum mass, and orbital eccentricity. Subject headings: catalogs — stars: exoplanets — techniques: radial velocities 1Based on observations obtained at the W. M. Keck Observatory, which is operated jointly by the Uni- versity of California and the California Institute of Technology. The Keck Observatory was made possible by the generous financial support of the W. M. Keck Foundation. arXiv:astro-ph/0607493v1 21 Jul 2006 2Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, Carnegie Institute of Washington, 5241 Broad Branch Road NW, Washington, DC 20015-1305 3Department of Astronomy, 601 Campbell Hall, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720-3411 4Department of Physics and Astronomy, San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA 94132 5UCO/Lick Observatory, University of California, Santa Cruz, CA 95064 6Anglo-Australian Observatory, PO Box 296, Epping.

  • 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.

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.

  • Simulating (Sub)Millimeter Observations of Exoplanet Atmospheres in Search of Water
    University of Groningen Kapteyn Astronomical Institute Simulating (Sub)Millimeter Observations of Exoplanet Atmospheres in Search of Water September 5, 2018 Author: N.O. Oberg Supervisor: Prof. Dr. F.F.S. van der Tak Abstract Context: Spectroscopic characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres is a field still in its in- fancy. The detection of molecular spectral features in the atmosphere of several hot-Jupiters and hot-Neptunes has led to the preliminary identification of atmospheric H2O. The Atacama Large Millimiter/Submillimeter Array is particularly well suited in the search for extraterrestrial water, considering its wavelength coverage, sensitivity, resolving power and spectral resolution. Aims: Our aim is to determine the detectability of various spectroscopic signatures of H2O in the (sub)millimeter by a range of current and future observatories and the suitability of (sub)millimeter astronomy for the detection and characterization of exoplanets. Methods: We have created an atmospheric modeling framework based on the HAPI radiative transfer code. We have generated planetary spectra in the (sub)millimeter regime, covering a wide variety of possible exoplanet properties and atmospheric compositions. We have set limits on the detectability of these spectral features and of the planets themselves with emphasis on ALMA. We estimate the capabilities required to study exoplanet atmospheres directly in the (sub)millimeter by using a custom sensitivity calculator. Results: Even trace abundances of atmospheric water vapor can cause high-contrast spectral ab- sorption features in (sub)millimeter transmission spectra of exoplanets, however stellar (sub) millime- ter brightness is insufficient for transit spectroscopy with modern instruments. Excess stellar (sub) millimeter emission due to activity is unlikely to significantly enhance the detectability of planets in transit except in select pre-main-sequence stars.

It would take >60yr to explore all habitable planets in our galaxy alone. x 100,000,000,000 galaxies in the observable universe Habitable planets Potentially habitable planet : – Planet mass sufficiently large to retain atmosphere, but sufficiently low to avoid becoming gaseous giant – Planet distance to star allows surface temperature suitable for liquid water (habitable zone) Habitable zone = zone within which Earth-like planet could harbor life Location of habitable zone is function of star luminosity L. For constant stellar flux, distance to star scales as L1/2 Examples: Sun → habitable zone is at ~1 AU Rigel (B type star) Proxima Centauri (M type star) Habitable planets Potentially habitable planet : – Planet mass sufficiently large to retain atmosphere, but sufficiently low to avoid becoming gaseous giant – Planet distance to star allows surface temperature suitable for liquid water (habitable zone) Habitable zone = zone within which Earth-like planet could harbor life Location of habitable zone is function of star luminosity L.
