Double-blind test program for astrometric planet detection with Gaia
Aims. The scope of this paper is twofold. First, it describes the simulation scenarios and the results of a large-scale, double-blind test campaign carried out to estimate the potential of Gaia for detecting and measuring planetary systems. The identified capabilities are then put in context by highlighting the unique contribution that the Gaia exoplanet discoveries will be able to bring to the...
متن کاملAstrometric Detection of Extra-solar Planets with Gaia
The proposed baseline GAIA mission will be capable to detect the astrometric signature of Jupiter-size planets around half a million stars, using either global or narrow-angle astrometry. If the mission can realize the higher astrometric accuracy photon statistics allows for bright stars, lower-mass planets (from Earth size to ten times larger) can be found around ten to a few hundred stars. 1....
متن کاملAstrometric Microlensing with the GAIA satellite
GAIA is the “super-Hipparcos” survey satellite selected as a Cornerstone 6 mission by the European Space Agency. GAIA can measure microlensing by the brightening of source stars. For the broad G band photometer, the all-sky source-averaged photometric optical depth is ∼ 10−7. There are ∼ 1300 photometric microlensing events for which GAIA will measure at least one datapoint on the amplified lig...
متن کاملGaia: Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics
GAIA is a concept for an astrometric interferometer studied as a possible cornerstone mission within the European Space Agency's scientiic programme Horizon 2000 Plus. It is envisaged to consist of two to four wide-eld optical interferometers with baselines of a few metres contained in a single payload and operated in a continuously scanning mode. The target astrometric accuracy is 10 microarcs...
متن کاملAstrometric Microlensing Constraints on a Massive Body in the Outer Solar System with the Global Astrometric Interferometer for Astrophysics (GAIA)
A body in Solar orbit beyond the Kuiper belt exhibits an annual parallax that exceeds its apparent proper motion by up to many orders of magnitude. Apparent motion of this body along the parallactic ellipse will deflect the angular position of background stars due to astrometric microlensing (“induced parallax”). By synoptically sampling the astrometric position of background stars over the ent...
