Investigating stellar activity through eight years of Sun-as-a-star observations

B Klein, S Aigrain, M Cretignier… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
Stellar magnetic activity induces both distortions and Doppler-shifts in the absorption line
profiles of Sun-like stars. Those effects produce apparent radial velocity (RV) signals which …
