Can we find 4 planets in the RV data for GL 581? 1 = 0.317 cycles/d 2 = 0.186 3 = 0.077 4 = 0.015 Note: for Fourier analysis we deal with frequencies (1/P) and not periods

The Period04 solution: P1 = 5.38 d, K = 12.7 m/s P2 = 12.99 d, K = 3.2 m/s P3 = 83.3 d, K = 2.7 m/s P4 = 3.15, K = 1.05 m/s P1 = 5.37 d, K = 12.5 m/s P2 = 12.93 d, K = 2.63 m/s P3 = 66.8 d, K = 2.7 m/s P4 = 3.15, K = 1.85 m/s =1.53 m/s =1.17 m/s Almost: Conclusions: 5.4 d and 12.9 d probably real, 66.8 d period is suspect, 3.15 d may be due to noise and needs confirmation. A better solution is obtained with 1.4 d instead of 3.15 d, but this is above the Nyquist frequency Published solution:

Published solution: P1 55.5 d, K = 1.2 m/s P2 = 3.8 d, K = 1.2 m/s P3 = 39 d, K = 1.14 m/s P1 = 4.214 d, K = 2.09 m/s P2 = 38.01 d, K = 3.58 m/s P3 = 124 d, K = 3.18 m/s The Planetary System around 61 Vir? The Period04 solution: Note: a 0.895 m/s offset was applied to the AAT data = 2.17 m/s = 2.02 m/s With different periods and amplitudes (and the same number of sine functions) we have come up with a better solution.
11
Problem #1 Largest peak is at 55 d, second peak is at 3.8 d, not 4.2 d. The False Alarm Probability of the 3.8 d peak is 0.004. I only believe planets with FAP << 0.001 Problem #2 Removing first two signals gives a peak at 39 d, but I do not believe it!
12
AAT Data only Peak at 55 d (0.018 c/d), but nothing signficant at 4.2 d (0.24 c/d) Remove the strongest peak and get two signals at 0.033 c/d (30 d, moon contamination?) and another at 0.26 c/d (3.8 d), but smaller peak at 4.44 d
13
Peak at 10.3 d (0.097c/d) Remove the dominant peak and residuals show a peak at 4.26 d (0.24 c/d) Keck Data only

16
Conclusions about the „Planetary System“ around 61 Vir 1. Combined data shows a 3.8 d period, not 4.26 d 2. AAT data shows 3.8 d peak 3.Individual data sets do not show either 39 d, or 124 d signal There might be a signal at ~4 d, but the fact that different data sets give different answers makes me doubt this The other two „planets“ are noise → This is not a robust or confirmed planetary system because a different approach gives an entirely different answer!

Exoplanets around low mass stars Ongoing programs: ESO UVES program (Kürster et al.): 40 stars HET Program (Endl & Cochran) : 100 stars Keck Program (Marcy et al.): 200 stars HARPS Program (Mayor et al.):~200 stars Results: Giant planets (2) around GJ 876. Giant planets around low mass M dwarfs seem rare Hot neptunes around several. Currently too few planets around M dwarfs to make any real conclusions

30
Exoplanets around massive stars Difficult with the Doppler method because more massive stars have higher effective temperatures and thus few spectral lines. Plus they have high rotation rates. A way around this is to look for planets around giant stars. This will be covered in „Planets off the Main Sequence“ Result: few planets around early-type, more massive stars, and these are mostly around F-type stars (~ 1.4 solar masses)

36
Preliminary conclusions: more massive stars have more massive planets with higher frequency. Less massive stars have less massive planets → planet formation is a sensitive function of the planet mass.

Jovian Analogs: Giant Planets at ≈ 5 AU Definition: A Jupiter mass planet in a 11 year orbit (5.2 AU)

There is a lot of junk in the solar system and in the past there was more. Eri: A young stars with a planet(s) Pic: A young star with planets
40
And sometimes this junk hits something. On Jupiter you get big holes. On the Earth it can destroy most of life.
41
What would the Solar System Look Like without Jupiter? Conclusion: Jupiters at 5 AU may be important for the development of intelligent life! G. Wetherill asked this question and through numerical simulations establised: The gravitational influence of Jupiter quickly removes most of the junk from the solar system. Without Jupiter the frequency of a cataclysmic collision like the one that killed off the dynosaurs would occur every 100.000 years instead of every 150.000.000 Years
42
Long period planet Very young star Has a dusty ring Nearby (3.2 pcs) Astrometry (1-2 mas) Imaging ( m =20-22 mag) Other planets? Eri Clumps in Ring can be modeled with a planet here (Liou & Zook 2000) A good Jovian analog but with a lot of junk, and in an eccentric orbit
43
Radial Velocity Measurements of Eri Large scatter is because this is an active star. It has been argued that this is not a planet at all, but rather the signal due to activity. Hatzes et al. 2000

Astronomer‘s Metals More Metals ! Even more Metals !! Planets and the Properties of the Host Stars: The Star- Metallicity Connection
49
The „Bracket“ [Fe/H] Take the abundance of heavy elements (Fe for instance) Ratio it to the solar value Take the logarithm e.g. [Fe/H] = –1 → 1/10 the iron abundance of the sun
50
These are stars with metallicity [Fe/H] ~ +0.3 – +0.5 There is believed to be a connection between metallicity and planet formation. Stars with higher metalicity tend to have a higher frequency of planets. This is often used as evidence in favor of the core accretion theory Valenti & Fischer The Planet-Metallicity Connection? There are several problems with this hypothesis
51
Endl et al. 2007: HD 155358 two planets and.. …[Fe/H] = –0.68. This certainly muddles the metallicity-planet connection
52
The Hyades
53
Hyades stars have [Fe/H] = 0.2 According to V&F relationship 10% of the stars should have giant planets, The Hyades Paulson, Cochran & Hatzes surveyed 100 stars in the Hyades According to V&H relationship we should have found 10 planets We found zero planets! Something is funny about the Hyades.
54
Something else is funny about the Hyades: Spitzer observations of the Hyades suggest that the fraction of stars in the Hyades with debris disks is comparable to old field stars and significantly less than for stars with planets. → In the cluster environment of the Hyades, whatever something removed the disks so planets could not form.
55
False Planets or How can you be sure that you have actually discovered a planet?
56
HD 166435 In 1996 Michel Mayor announced at a conference in Victoria, Canada, the discovery of a new „51 Peg“ planet in a 3.97 d. One problem…
57
HD 166435 shows the same period in in photometry, color, and activity indicators. This is not a planet!
58
What can mimic a planet in Radial Velocity Variations? 1. Spots or stellar surface structure 2. Stellar Oscillations 3. Convection pattern on the surface of the star
59
Starspots can produce Radial Velocity Variations Spectral Line distortions in an active star that is rotating rapidly
60
P = 4.8 days Oscillations can produce Radial Velocity Variations
61
Activity Effects: Convection Hot rising cell Cool sinking lane The integrated line profile is distorted. The ratio of dark lane to hot cell areas changes with the solar cycle RV changes can be as large as 10 m/s with an 11 year period This is a Jupiter! One has to worry even about the nature long period RV variations
62
Tools for confirming planets: Photometry Starspots are much cooler than the photosphere Light Variations Color Variations Relatively easy to measure
63
Ca II H & K core emission is a measure of magnetic activity: Active star Inactive star Tools for confirming planets: Ca II H&K
64
Dl (Å) Where does this emission core come from? Keep in mind: 1. Strong spectral lines are formed higher up in the atmosphere 2. The core of a line is formed higher up than the wings. The core of the line is formed in the chromosphere where the temperature is higher
65
HD 166435 Ca II emission measurements
66
Bisectors can measure the line shapes and tell you about the nature of the RV variations: What can change bisectors: Spots Pulsations Convection pattern on star Span Curvature Tools for confirming planets: Bisectors
67
Correlation of bisector span with radial velocity for HD 166435 Spots produce an „anti-correlation“ of Bisector Span versus RV variations:
68
Setiawan et al. 2007 The Planet around TW Hya? And my doubts…
69
Maximum RV variations in the velocity span is ~500 m/s The claim is no bisector variations in this star
71
Doppler image of V 410 Tau: A Weak T Tauri Star The spot distribution on V410 Tau has been present for 15 years!
72
In a Galaxy (The Milky Way) a long time ago (1990) I did some simulations. I new that active stars had polar spots and I asked the question: „What would the RV and bisector variations look like for a star with a polar spot viewed nearly pole on. My results (from memory): 1. The RV curve is nearly sinusoidal 2. There are virtually no bisector span variations detectable at resolving power R =100,000 3. The largest effect is in the bisector curvature, but high resolution is needed to detect this. R ´= 50,000 (resolving power of TW Hya measurements) is too low.
73
TW Hya is a T Tauri star (that will become a weak T Tauri star) viewed pole-on It most likely has a decentered polar spot (Doppler images of another TW Hya association star indeed shows a polar spot) From my lecture of 2009: What is needed to confirm this: 1. Contemporaneous photometry (but this star has a disk and complicated light variations) 2. RV measurements in the infrared where the spot contrast is smaller.
74
I = 1 (exp(hc/ kT) – 1) 2hc 2 5 I spot /I photosphere = (exp(hc/ kT p ) – 1) (exp(hc/ kT s ) – 1) Tspot ≈ 3000 K Tspot ≈ 5000 K At 5500 Å contrast ratio = 0.03 At 1.5 m contrast ratio = 0.25 → weaker distortions in line profile
75
Figueira et al. 2010, Astronomy and Astrophysics, 511, 55 Points: IR measurements, Solid line is the orbital solution using optical radial velocity measurements, but with one-third the optical amplitude → No planet! A constant star
76
Confirming Extrasolar Planet Discoveries made with Radial Velocity Measurements The commandments of planet confirmation: Must have long-lived coherent periodic variations RV amplitude must be constant with wavelength Must not have photometric variations with the same period as the planet Must not have Ca II H&K emission variations with the planet period Most not have line shape (bisector) variations with the same period as the planet
77
Why I think CoRoT-7b is a 3 planet System
78
Another source of „Fake Planets“ Secular changes in proper motion: Small proper motion Large proper motion Perspective effect
80
The Secular Acceleration of Barnard‘s Star (Kürster et al. 2003).
81
How do you know you have a planet? 1. Is the period of the radial velocity reasonable? Is it the expected rotation period? Can it arise from pulsations? E.g. 51 Peg had an expected rotation period of ~30 days. Stellar pulsations at 4 d for a solar type star was never found 2.Do you have Ca II data? Look for correlations with RV period. 3. Get photometry of your object 4. Measure line bisectors 5. And to be double sure, measure the RV in the infrared!
82
Summary Radial Velocity Method Pros: Most successful detection method Gives you a dynamical mass Distance independent Will provide the bulk (~1000) discoveries in the next 10+ years
83
Summary Radial Velocity Method Cons: Only effective for late-type stars Most effective for short (< 10 – 20 yrs) periods Only high mass planets (no Earths!) Projected mass (msin i) Other phenomena (pulsations, spots) can mask as an RV signal. Must be careful in the interpretation
84
Summary of Exoplanet Properties from RV Studies ~6% of normal solar-type stars have giant planets ~10% or more of stars with masses ~1.5 M סּ have giant planets that tend to be more massive (more on this later in the course) < 1% of the M dwarfs stars (low mass) have giant planets, but may have a large population of neptune-mass planets → low mass stars have low mass planets, high mass stars have more planets of higher mass → planet formation may be a steep function of stellar mass 0.5 – 1% of solar type stars have short period giant plants Exoplanets have a wide range of orbital eccentricities (most are not in circular orbits) Massive planets tend to be in eccentric orbits Massive planets tend to have large orbital radii Stars with higher metallicity tend to have a higher frequency of planets, but this needs confirmation
