Abstract We report on a radial-velocity search for short-period planets in the Pleiades open cluster. We observed 30 Pleiades member stars at the Okayama Astrophysical Observatory with the High Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph. To evaluate and mitigate the effects of stellar activity on radial-velocity (RV) measurements, we computed four activity indicators (full width at half maximum, Vspan, Wspan, and SHα). Among our sample, no short-period planet candidates were detected. Stellar intrinsic RV jitter was estimated to be 52 m s−1, 128 m s−1, and 173 m s−1 for stars with $v$ sin i of 10 km s−1, 15 km s−1, and 20 km s−1, respectively. We determined the planet occurrence rate from our survey and set the upper limit to 11.4% for planets with masses 1–13 MJUP and period 1–10 d. To set a more stringent constraint on the planet occurrence rate, we combined the result of our survey with those of other surveys targeting open clusters with ages in the range 30–300 Myr. As a result, the planet occurrence rate in young open clusters was found to be less than 7.4%, 2.9%, and 1.9% for planets with an orbital period of 3 d and masses of 1–5, 5–13, and 13–80 MJUP, respectively.

Eclipsing Binary

AbstractNew radial velocity measurements of the Algol-type eclipsing binary BD +52 °2009, based on Reticon observations, are presented. The velocity measures are based on fitting theoretical profiles, generated by a physical model of the binary, to the observed cross-correlation function (ccf). Such profiles match this function very well, much better in fact than Gaussian profiles, which are generally used. Measuring the ccf’s with Gaussian profiles yields the following results: mp sin3i = 2.55 ± 0.05m⊙, ms sin3i = 1.14 ± 0.03m⊙, (ap + as) sin i = 7.34 ± 0.05R⊙, and mp/ms = 2.23 ± 0.05. However, measuring the ccf’s with theoretical profiles yields a mass ratio of 2.33 and following results: mp sin3i = 2.84 ± 0.05m⊙, ms sin3i = 1.22 ± 0.03m⊙, (ap + as) sin i = 7.56 ± 0.05R⊙. The system has a semi-detached configuration. By combining the solution of a previously published light curve with the spectroscopic orbit, one can obtain the following physical parameters: mp = 2.99m⊙, ms3 = 1.28m⊙, < Tp >= 9600K, < Ts >= 5400K, < Rp >= 2.35R⊙, < Rs >= 2.12R⊙. The system consists of an A0 primary and a G2 secondary.

Abstract The direct measurement of the universe’s expansion history and the search for terrestrial planets in habitable zones around solar-type stars require extremely high-precision radial-velocity measures over a decade. This study proposes an approach for enabling high-precision radial-velocity measurements from space. The concept presents a combination of a high-dispersion densified pupil spectrograph and a novel line-of-sight monitor for telescopes. The precision of the radial-velocity measurements is determined by combining the spectrophotometric accuracy and the quality of the absorption lines in the recorded spectrum. Therefore, a highly dispersive densified pupil spectrograph proposed to perform stable spectroscopy can be utilized for high-precision radial-velocity measures. A concept involving the telescope’s line-of-sight monitor is developed to minimize the change of the telescope’s line of sight over a decade. This monitor allows the precise measurement of long-term telescope drift without any significant impact on the Airy disk when the densified pupil spectra are recorded. We analytically derive the uncertainty of the radial-velocity measurements, which is caused by the residual offset of the lines of sight at two epochs. We find that the error could be reduced down to approximately 1 cm s−1, and the precision will be limited by another factor (e.g., wavelength calibration uncertainty). A combination of the high-precision spectrophotometry and the high spectral resolving power could open a new path toward the characterization of nearby non-transiting habitable planet candidates orbiting late-type stars. We present two simple and compact highly dispersed densified pupil spectrograph designs for cosmology and exoplanet sciences.

AbstractWe briefly describe the instrumental effects which affect the accuracy of the radial velocity measurements. We have implemented several methods to correct for the instability effects and improve the accuracy of the measurements. These include modifications of the observational strategy and a time-dependent wavelength solution as well as a discussion of the error of the offset from cross-correlation. These methods are applied to observations obtained with the high resolution échelle spectrograph SOFIN mounted at the Cassegrain focus of the alt-azimuth 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope, La Palma, Canary Islands.

AbstractThe use of fibers to feed spectrographs is a very efficient way to increase the precision of radial velocity measurements. It has already proved to be successful with the very first detection by the ELODIE fiber-fed spectrograph of the planet orbiting the star 51 Peg. The basic key properties of fibers in the very high radial velocity precision measurements context are described in this review. The ELODIE spectrograph is used to illustrate the thorium simultaneous calibration technique. The use and the effects of a double-scrambler to increase the stability of the slit illumination are also discussed.

AbstractThe spectroscopic orbit of a high proper motion star, BD+20 5152, is calculated from 34 CORAVEL-type radial velocity measurements. The star has a slightly eccentric orbit with a period of 5.70613 d, half-amplitude of 47.7 km/s and eccentricity of 0.049. The center-of-mass velocity of the system is -24.3 km/s. BD+20 5152 seems to be a triple system consisting of a G8 dwarf as a primary component and of two K6-M0 dwarfs as secondary and tertiary components. This model is based on the analysis of its UBVRI and JHK magnitudes. According to the SuperWASP photometry, spots on the surface of the primary are suspected. The excessive brightness in the Galex FUV and NUV magnitudes and a non-zero eccentricity suggest the age of this system to be less than 1 Gyr.
