Towards understanding stellar variability at the sub m/s level: granulation-induced variability across the optical spectrum
Cis Lagae, Ginger Frame, Heather M. Cegla +5
Detecting the radial velocity signal of Earth-mass exoplanets requires the characterisation and removal of granulation-induced radial velocity variability from spectroscopic observ…
Synthetic disk-integrated absorption lines isolating stellar granulation for high-precision RV studies
Ginger Frame, Heather Cegla, Cis Lagae +6
We present a novel method for constructing high-accuracy, time-varying disk-integrated stellar absorption line profiles that isolate the effects of granulation alone. This framewor…
Measuring the Suns radial velocity variability due to supergranulation over a magnetic cycle
Niamh K. O'Sullivan, Suzanne Aigrain, Michael Cretignier +9
In recent years supergranulation has emerged as one of the biggest challenges for the detection of Earth-twins in radial velocity planet searches. We used eight years of Sun-as-a-s…
Constraining Stellar Photospheres as an Essential Step for Transmission Spectroscopy of Small Exoplanets
Benjamin V. Rackham, Arazi Pinhas, Dániel Apai +29
Transmission spectra probe the atmospheres of transiting exoplanets, but these observations are also subject to signals introduced by magnetic active regions on host stars. Here we…
Understanding Astrophysical Noise from Stellar Surface Magneto-Convection
H. M. Cegla, C. A. Watson, S. Shelyag +1
To obtain cm/s precision, stellar surface magneto-convection must be disentangled from observed radial velocities (RVs). In order to understand and remove the convective signature,…
Upgrading the Solar-Stellar Connection: News about activity in Cool Stars
H. M. Günther, K. Poppenhaeger, P. Testa +9
In this splinter session, ten speakers presented results on solar and stellar activity and how the two fields are connected. This was followed by a lively discussion and supplement…
Stellar Surface Magneto-Convection as a Source of Astrophysical Noise. I. Multi-component Parameterisation of Absorption Line Profiles
H. M. Cegla, S. Shelyag, C. A. Watson +1
We outline our techniques to characterise photospheric granulation as an astrophysical noise source. A four component parameterisation of granulation is developed that can be used…
