The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs-Line-by-line sensitivity to activity in M dwarfs

M Lafarga, I Ribas, M Zechmeister, A Reiners… - Astronomy & …, 2023 - aanda.org
Context. Radial velocities (RVs) measured from high-resolution stellar spectra are routinely
used to detect and characterise orbiting exoplanet companions. The different lines present …

Stellar surface information from the Ca ii H&K lines – II. Defining better activity proxies

M Cretignier, NC Hara, AGM Pietrow… - Monthly Notices of …, 2024 - academic.oup.com
In our former paper I, we showed on the Sun that different active regions possess unique
intensity profiles on the Ca ii H & K lines. We now extend the analysis by showing how those …

A stellar activity F-statistic for exoplanet surveys (SAFE)

PH Holzer, J Cisewski-Kehe, L Zhao… - The Astronomical …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
In the search for planets orbiting distant stars, the presence of stellar activity in the
atmospheres of observed stars can obscure the radial velocity signal used to detect such …

Deep Learning–based Measurement of Planetary Radial Velocities in the Presence of Stellar Variability

I Colwell, V Timmaraju, HS Venkataram… - The Astronomical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a deep learning–based approach for measuring small planetary radial velocities
(RVs) in the presence of stellar variability. We use neural networks to reduce stellar RV jitter …
