Towards understanding stellar variability at the sub m/s level: Isolating granulation signals in synthetic spectral lines

Ginger Frame, Heather M. Cegla, Veronika Witzke +5

Granulation in the photospheres of FGK-type stars induces variability in absorption lines, complicating exoplanet detection via radial velocities and characterisation via transmiss…

The EXPRES Stellar Signals Project II. State of the Field in Disentangling Photospheric Velocities

Lily L. Zhao, Debra A. Fischer, Eric B. Ford +40

Measured spectral shifts due to intrinsic stellar variability (e.g., pulsations, granulation) and activity (e.g., spots, plages) are the largest source of error for extreme precisi…

Unsigned magnetic flux as a proxy for radial-velocity variations in Sun-like stars

R. D. Haywood, T. W. Milbourne, S. H. Saar +7

We estimate disc-averaged RV variations of the Sun over the last magnetic cycle, from the single Fe I line observed by SDO/HMI, using a physical model for rotationally modulated ma…

Linking Compact Dwarf Starburst Galaxies in the RESOLVE Survey to Downsized Blue Nuggets

Michael L. Palumbo, Sheila J. Kannappan, Elaine M. Frazer +12

We identify and characterize compact dwarf starburst (CDS) galaxies in the RESOLVE survey, a volume-limited census of galaxies in the local universe, to probe whether this populati…

HARPS-N Solar Radial-Velocity Variations Are Dominated By Large, Bright Magnetic Regions

T. W. Milbourne, R. D. Haywood, D. F. Phillips +37

State of the art radial-velocity (RV) exoplanet searches are currently limited by RV signals arising from stellar magnetic activity. We analyze solar observations acquired over a 3…

Stellar Surface Magneto-Convection as a Source of Astrophysical Noise II. Center-to-Limb Parameterisation of Absorption Line Profiles and Comparison to Observations

H. M. Cegla, C. A. Watson, S. Shelyag +6

Manifestations of stellar activity (such as star-spots, plage/faculae, and convective flows) are well known to induce spectroscopic signals often referred to as astrophysical noise…
