Detecting Exoplanets Ma Bo, Department of Astronomy, Nanjing University
2
Candidates detected (342) by radial velocity 316by radial velocity by Transiting methods 58 by microlensing 8by microlensing by imaging 11by imaging by timing 7by timing
3
Radial Velocity ( 51 Pegasi in 1995)51 Pegasi reflex motion of the host star using pulsar timing or precision Doppler measurements
4
Transiting Method periodic dimming of the parent star as the planet transits in front
5
Microlensing planet-induced perturbations to microlensing light curves in which the host star acts as the primary gravitational lens
6
Inverse ray-shooting method ( Kayser1986 ) 和正向计算的方法比较 Lense planeAmplification image
7
Discovery of a Jupiter/Saturn Analog Could this be explained by a planet/satellite pair?
8
Timing method (for pulsar) pulses arrive at the telescope with a tiny, variable delay caused by planets around
9
Direct imaging (first at 2005) First direct imaging of a giant planet around a brown dwarf
10
Detection Limits for Planets Around Solar-Like Stars
11
Future space missions Space Interferometry Mission Kepler Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF)
12
About Kepler System Characteristics: Spacebased Photometer: 0.95-m aperture Primary mirror: 1.4 meter diameter, 85% light weighted Detectors: 95 mega pixels (42 CCDs with 2200x1024 pixels) Bandpass: 430-890 nm FWHM Dynamic range: 9th to 16th magnitude stars Fine guidance sensors: 4 CCDs located on science focal plane Attitude stability: <9 milli-arcsec, 3 sigma over 15 minutes.
