  • Linking Stars, Planets and Debris Through Herschel Observations of Radial Velocity Exoplanet Host Stars
    Linking stars, planets and debris through Herschel observations of radial velocity exoplanet host stars Jonathan P. Marshall Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Introduction • Herschel observed 104 radial velocity exoplanet host stars, of which 30 also had detectable circumstellar discs (DEBRIS, DUNES, GT and SKARPS) • Given that we expect planets to form from the agglomeration of planetesimals, there should be some link between the two • Previous work with Spitzer identified no correlation between planets and debris (Moro-martin et al. 2007, Bryden et al. 2009) • Observational signatures of planets may be visible in the spatial distribution of dust discs around other stars Imaging exoplanets • We find exoplanets in systems with debris discs (Marois et al. 2008; Bonnefoy et al. 2011; Rameau et al. 2013) Multi-component discs • HIP 17439’s debris disc is potentially the result of two cold dust belts Ertel et al. 2014 Schueppler et al., subm. Dynamical interactions • e.g. Eta Corvi’s Spitzer IRS spectrum shows evidence for KBO material in inner system Matthews et al. 2010 Lisse et al. 2012 Perturbation • Stars hosting exoplanets with low orbital eccentricities show a weak tendency to have brighter discs • Planets with lower eorb are less disruptive to parent bodies in debris belts Maldonado et al. 2012 Eccentric discs • e.g. HIP 15371 • Asymmetric structure proposed to be the result of dynamical perturbation by a planetary companion . Similar evidence seen in other discs (in sub-mm) tends to be weak, potentially result of low s/n observation . Not necessarily a planet, as remnant gas could affect dust Faramaz et al. 2014 Coplanarity • Inclination of star, i*, and disc, id • Debris discs are generally seen to lie along the equatorial plane of the host star • Few exceptions, e.g.

COMPETENCES : ● Utilisation du théorème de Pythagore ● Utilisation de Google Earth pour évaluer des distances à vol d'oiseau ● Recherche personnelle de données REALISATION : Il s'agit ici de mettre en application le théorème de Pythagore mais avec une vision terrestre dans un premier temps suite à un questionnement de l'élève puis dans un second temps de réutiliser la même démarche dans le cadre spatial de la visibilité d'un satellite. Fiche élève ____________________________________________________________________________ 1. Victor Hugo a écrit dans Les Châtiments : "Les horizons aux horizons succèdent […] : on avance toujours, on n’arrive jamais ". Face à la mer, vous voyez l'horizon à perte de vue. Mais "est-ce loin, l'horizon ?". D'après toi, jusqu'à quelle distance peux-tu voir si le temps est clair ? Réponse 1 : " Sans instrument, je peux voir jusqu'à .................. km " Réponse 2 : " Avec une paire de jumelles, je peux voir jusqu'à ............... km " 2. Nous allons maintenant calculer à l'aide du théorème de Pythagore la ligne d'horizon pour une hauteur H donnée.

  • Telescope to Seek Dust Where Other Earths May Lie 22 January 2015, by Whitney Clavin
    Telescope to seek dust where other Earths may lie 22 January 2015, by Whitney Clavin The new instrument, based at the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory at the top of Mount Graham in southeastern Arizona, will obtain the best infrared images yet of dust permeating a star's habitable zone, the region around the star where water—an essential ingredient for life as we know it—could pool on a planet. Earth sits comfortably within our sun's habitable zone, hence its glistening surface of oceans. Scientists want to take pictures of exo-Earths and break up their light into a rainbow of colors. This color information is displayed in plots, called The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI) spectra, which reveal chemical clues about whether instrument set its eyes on a dusty star system called Eta a planet could sustain life. But dust—which comes Corvi, depicted here in this artist's concept. Recent from colliding asteroids and evaporating collisions between comets and rocky bodies within the comets—can outshine the feeble light of a planet, star system are thought to have generated the surplus of making this task difficult. dust.

See PAST ISSUES online back to 2009 Visit us on Facebook – Baton Rouge Astronomical Society Baton Rouge Astronomical Society Newsletter, Night Visions Page 2 of 27 September 2020 President’s Message Welcome to September. You may have noticed that this newsletter is showing up a little bit later than usual, and it’s for good reason: release of the newsletter will now happen after the monthly business meeting so that we can have a chance to keep everybody up to date on the latest information. Sometimes, this will mean the newsletter shows up a couple of days late. But, the upshot is that you’ll now be able to see what we discussed at the recent business meeting and have time to digest it before our general meeting in case you want to give some feedback. Now that we’re on the new format, business meetings (and the oft neglected Light Pollution Committee Meeting), are going to start being open to all members of the club again by simply joining up in the respective chat rooms the Wednesday before the first Monday of the month—which I encourage people to do, especially if you have some ideas you want to see the club put into action.

A new wide field CCD Imager (WFI) will come into use in 2000 and will enable many more images like this to be made.

  • The Chemical Composition of Solar-Type Stars and Its Impact on the Presence of Planets
    The chemical composition of solar-type stars and its impact on the presence of planets Patrick Baumann Munchen¨ 2013 The chemical composition of solar-type stars and its impact on the presence of planets Patrick Baumann Dissertation der Fakultat¨ fur¨ Physik der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat¨ Munchen¨ durchgefuhrt¨ am Max-Planck-Institut fur¨ Astrophysik vorgelegt von Patrick Baumann aus Munchen¨ Munchen,¨ den 31. Januar 2013 Erstgutacher: Prof. Dr. Achim Weiss Zweitgutachter: Prof. Dr. Joachim Puls Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 8. April 2013 Zusammenfassung Wir untersuchen eine mogliche¨ Verbindung zwischen den relativen Elementhaufig-¨ keiten in Sternatmospharen¨ und der Anwesenheit von Planeten um den jeweili- gen Stern. Um zuverlassige¨ Ergebnisse zu erhalten, untersuchen wir ausschließlich sonnenahnliche¨ Sterne und fuhren¨ unsere spektroskopischen Analysen zur Bestim- mung der grundlegenden Parameter und der chemischen Zusammensetzung streng differenziell und relativ zu den solaren Werten durch. Insgesamt untersuchen wir 200 Sterne unter Zuhilfenahme von Spektren mit herausragender Qualitat,¨ die an den modernsten Teleskopen gewonnen wurden, die uns zur Verfugung¨ stehen. Mithilfe der Daten fur¨ 117 sonnenahnliche¨ Sterne untersuchen wir eine mogliche¨ Verbindung zwischen der Oberflachenh¨ aufigkeit¨ von Lithium in einem Stern, seinem Alter und der Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass sich ein oder mehrere Sterne in einer Um- laufbahn um das Objekt befinden. Fur¨ jeden Stern erhalten wir sehr exakte grundle- gende Parameter unter Benutzung einer sorgfaltig¨ zusammengestellten Liste von Fe i- und Fe ii-absorptionslinien, modernen Modellatmospharen¨ und Routinen zum Erstellen von Modellspektren. Die Massen und das Alter der Objekte werden mithilfe von Isochronen bestimmt, was zu sehr soliden relativen Werten fuhrt.¨ Bei jungen Sternen, fur¨ die die Isochronenmethode recht unzuverlssig¨ ist, vergleichen wir verschiedene alternative Methoden.
