Adaptive optics echelle spectrograph for radial velocity studies
Radial velocity studies represent the most successful method to date for the detection of extrasolar planets. Although radial velocity (vr ) measurement precision of 3 m s –1 is routinely achieved in some programs, it is important to understand and minimize sources of experimental error. Furthermore, velocity variations resulting from astrophysical processes contribute to velocity errors, and m...
متن کاملZodiacal Light Emission in the Planck mission
Context. The Planck satellite, scheduled for launch in 2007, will produce a set of all sky maps in nine frequency bands spanning from 30 GHz to 857 GHz, with an unprecedented sensitivity and resolution. Planets, minor bodies and diffuse interplanetary dust will contribute to the (sub)mm sky emission observed by Planck, representing a source of foreground contamination to be removed before extra...
متن کاملA Spitzer IRAC Measure of the Zodiacal Light
The dominant non-instrumental background source for space–based infrared observatories is the zodiacal light (ZL). We present Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) measurements of the ZL at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 μm, taken as part of the instrument calibrations. We measure the changing surface brightness levels in approximately weekly IRAC observations near the north ecliptic pole over the perio...
متن کاملRadial Velocity
The radial velocity technique was utilized to make the first exoplanet discoveries and continues to play a major role in the discovery and characterization of exoplanetary systems. In this chapter we describe how the technique works, and the current precision and limitations. We then review its major successes in the field of exoplanets. With more than 250 planet detections, it is the most prol...
متن کاملDynamical Zodiacal Cloud Models Constrained by High Resolution Spectroscopy of the Zodiacal Light
The simulated Doppler shifts of the solar Mg I Fraunhofer line produced by scattering on the solar light by asteroidal, cometary, and trans-Neptunian dust particles are compared with the shifts obtained by Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) spectrometer. The simulated spectra are based on the results of integrations of the orbital evolution of particles under the gravitational influence of planets...
