Formation and Detection of Earth Mass Planets around Low Mass Stars
We investigate an in-situ formation scenario for Earth-mass terrestrial planets in short-period, potentially habitable orbits around low-mass stars (M∗ < 0.3M⊙). We then investigate the feasibility of detecting these Earth-sized planets. We find that such objects can feasibly be detected by a ground-based transit survey if their formation frequency is high and if correlated noise can be control...
متن کاملDetecting 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 کاملInduced Formation of Primordial Low-Mass Stars
We show that the explosion of the first pair-unstable supernovae can trigger lowmass star formation via gravitational fragmentation of the supernova-driven gas shell. The necessary conditions for such instability are: (i) the mean density of the ambient medium is 14 cm < n0 < 790 cm ; (ii) the explosion energy ESN > 3 × 10 52 erg (i.e. core-collapse supernovae are not suitable triggers). The ty...
متن کاملSpectral fingerprints of Earth-like planets around FGK stars.
We present model atmospheres for an Earth-like planet orbiting the entire grid of main sequence FGK stars with effective temperatures ranging from Teff=4250 K to Teff=7000 K in 250 K intervals. We have modeled the remotely detectable spectra of Earth-like planets for clear and cloudy atmospheres at the 1 AU equivalent distance from the VIS to IR (0.4 to 20 μm) to compare detectability of featur...
متن کاملMass loss and dust formation around oxygen - rich evolved stars
Infrared spectra of a number of evolved O-rich stars have been obtained with the Short and Long Wavelength spectrometers on board the Infrared Space Observatory. The very broad wavelength coverage (2.4–197μm) obtained by combining observations made with the two spectrometers includes practically all of the flux emitted by the sources, and allows us to determine the emission and absorption featu...
