K-dwarf starspot hunters: how to directly characterize spot and faculae properties with UV-IR panchromatic transit spectra
Joanna K. Barstow, Caitlyn Cullen, Yvonne Unruh +7
Transmission spectroscopy of exoplanets provides an important window into their atmospheric composition, structure and dynamics, especially in the JWST era. As the quality of the o…
The Fe I 4377 Å Line as a Solar Faculae Indicator: Insights from Spectral Ratio Analysis
Katlyn L. Hobbs, Christopher A. Watson, Jean C. Costes +21
Faculae are a dominant source of stellar activity noise in radial velocity measurements, yet their low contrast and broad surface distribution make them difficult to track in disc-…
First Calculations of Starspot Spectra based on 3D Radiative Magnetohydrodynamics Simulations
H. N. Smitha, Alexander I. Shapiro, Veronika Witzke +6
Accurate calculations of starspot spectra are essential for multiple applications in astronomy. The current standard is to represent starspot spectra by spectra of stars that are c…
Reliable Transmission Spectrum Extraction with a Three-Parameter Limb Darkening Law
Rosa E. Keers, Alexander I. Shapiro, Nadiia M. Kostogryz +7
Stellar limb darkening must be properly accounted for to accurately determine the radii of exoplanets at various wavelengths. The standard approach to address limb darkening involv…
Testing MURaM and MPS-ATLAS against the quiet solar spectrum
Veronika Witzke, Alexander I. Shapiro, Nadiia M. Kostogryz +8
Three-dimensional (3D) radiative magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations are the only way to model stellar atmospheres without any ad hoc parameterisations. Several 3D radiative MHD…
Spectral variability of photospheric radiation due to faculae II: Facular contrasts for cool main-sequence stars
Charlotte M. Norris, Yvonne C. Unruh, Veronika Witzke +5
Magnetic features on the surface of stars, such as spots and faculae, cause stellar spectral variability on time-scales of days and longer. For stars other than the Sun, the spectr…
