نویسندگان
چکیده
Aims. SPIRou is a near-infrared (nIR) spectropolarimeter at the CFHT, covering YJHK nIR spectral bands (980?2350 nm). We describe development and current status of wavelength calibration in order to obtain precise radial velocities (RVs) nIR. Methods. make use UNe hollow-cathode lamp Fabry-Pérot étalon calibrate pixel-wavelength correspondence for SPIRou. Different methods are developed identifying lines, calibrating dependence cavity width, combining two calibrators. Results. The spectra alone do not provide sufficiently accurate solution meet design requirements an internal error < 0.45 m s ?1 , overall RV precision 1 . However, combination with allows significant improvements, leading ?0.15 examine inter-night stability, intra-night impact on stellar RVs solution.

Retrieval of Precise Radial Velocities from Near-Infrared High Resolution Spectra of Low Mass Stars
Given that low-mass stars have intrinsically low luminosities at optical wavelengths and a propensity for stellar activity, it is advantageous for radial velocity (RV) surveys of these objects to use near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. In this work we describe and test a novel RV extraction pipeline dedicated to retrieving RVs from low mass stars using NIR spectra taken by the CSHELL spectrograph ...
متن کاملA Pathfinder Instrument for Precision Radial Velocities in the Near-Infrared
We have designed and tested an in-plane echelle spectrograph configured to investigate precision radial velocities from ground-based near-infrared observations. The spectrograph operates across the spectral range of 0.9–1.7 μm at a spectral resolution of R 1⁄4 50; 000, and uses a liquid nitrogen-cooled HAWAII 1 K detector. Repeated measurements of the Earth’s rotation via integrated sunlight wi...
متن کاملthe search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
15 صفحه اولPrecise radial velocities of giant stars
Aims. We aim to detect and characterize substellar companions to K giant stars to further our knowledge of planet formation and stellar evolution of intermediate-mass stars. Methods. For more than a decade we have used Doppler spectroscopy to acquire high-precision radial velocity measurements of K giant stars. All data for this survey were taken at Lick Observatory. Our survey includes 373 G a...
متن کاملInfrared radial velocities of vB 10
We present radial velocities of the M8V-type, very low-mass star vB 10 that have been obtained at four different epochs of observations between 2001 and 2008. We use high-resolution (R∼ 20,000) near-infrared (J-band) spectra taken with the nirspec instrument on the Keck II telescope. Our data suggest that vB 10 shows radial velocity variability with an amplitude of ∼1 km s−1, a result that is c...
