Detecting Planets around Very Low Mass Stars with the Radial Velocity Method
The detection of planets around very low-mass stars with the radial velocity method is hampered by the fact that these stars are very faint at optical wavelengths where the most high-precision spectrometers operate. We investigate the precision that can be achieved in radial velocity measurements of low mass stars in the near infrared (nIR) Y -, J-, and H-bands, and we compare it to the precisi...
متن کاملDetecting transits from Earth-sized planets around Sun-like stars
Context. Detecting regular dips in the light curve of a star is an easy way to detect the presence of an orbiting planet. CoRoT is a Franco-European mission launched at the end of 2006, and one of its main objectives is to detect planetary systems using the transit method. Aims. In this paper, we present a new method for transit detection and determine the smallest detected planetary radius, as...
متن کاملLocal Circumstellar Magnetic Fields around Evolved Stars
I argue that the presence of magnetic fields around evolved stars, e.g., asymptotic giant branch stars, and in PNe, does not necessarily imply that the magnetic field plays a global dynamical role in shaping the circumstellar envelope. Instead, I favor magnetic fields with small coherence lengths, which result from stellar magnetic spots or from jets blown by an accreting companion. Although th...
متن کاملCosmic magnetic fields: from planets to stars and galaxies
The coronal structure of main sequence stars continues to puzzle us. While the solar corona is relatively well understood, it has become clear that even stars of the same mass as the Sun can display very non-solar coronal behaviour, particularly if they are rapid rotators or in a binary system. At masses greater than and also less than that of the Sun, the non-solar internal structure appears t...
