Connecting Granulation and Magnetic Activity in Radial Velocities: The Next Breakthrough for High-Precision Spectroscopy

Ancy Anna John, Khaled Al Moulla, Federica Rescigno +5

Stellar variability has become the dominant limitation to achieving the radial velocity (RV) precision required for the detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. Whi…

Spectral Ratio Analysis: probing of a new suite of stellar activity indicators as a tool for astrophysical noise mitigation

Jean C. Costes, Christopher A. Watson, Ernst de Mooij +6

Stellar activity is the main barrier to detecting and/or confirming low-mass/long-period (and Earth-analogue) planets using radial-velocity (RV) measurements. Searching for reliabl…

Chromaticity of stellar activity in radial velocities : Anti-correlated families of lines on the M dwarf EV Lac with SPIRou and SOPHIE

Pierre Larue, Xavier Delfosse, Andres Carmona +33

Context. In the search for exoplanets using radial velocities (RV), stellar activity has become one of the main limiting factors for detectability. Fortunately, activity-induced RV…

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…

Investigating stellar activity through eight years of Sun-as-a-star observations

Baptiste Klein, Suzanne Aigrain, Michael Cretignier +11

Stellar magnetic activity induces both distortions and Doppler-shifts in the absorption line profiles of Sun-like stars. Those effects produce apparent radial velocity (RV) signals…

Confrontation between modelled solar integrated observables and direct observations I. Radial velocities and convective blueshift

Nadège Meunier, Anne-Marie Lagrange, Xavier Dumusque +1

Stellar variability strongly impacts the search for low-mass exoplanets with radial velocity techniques. Two types of planet-free time series can be used to quantify this impact: m…

Characterisation of the stellar activity of M dwarfs. II. Relationship between Ca, H, and Na chromospheric emissions

Nadège Meunier, Lucile Mignon, Matthieu Kretzschmar +1

The chromospheric emission estimated in the core of different lines, such as Ca II H & K, Na D1 and D2, and Halpha, is not always correlated between lines, as the Ca II H & K and H…

The magnetically quiet solar surface dominates HARPS-N solar RVs during low activity

Ben S. Lakeland, Tim Naylor, Raphaëlle Haywood +15

Using images from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager aboard the \textit{Solar Dynamics Observatory} (SDO/HMI), we extract the radial-velocity (RV) signal arising from the suppres…

Activity time series of old stars from late F to early K. V. Effect on exoplanet detectability with high-precision astrometry

N. Meunier, A. -M. Lagrange, S. Borgniet

Stellar activity strongly affects and may prevent the detection of Earth-mass planets in the habitable zone of solar-type stars with radial velocity technics. Astrometry is in prin…

Variability of stellar granulation and convective blueshift with spectral type and magnetic activity. I. K and G main sequence stars

N. Meunier, A. -M. Lagrange, L. Mbemba Kabuiku +3

In solar-type stars, the attenuation of convective blueshift by stellar magnetic activity dominates the RV variations over the low amplitude signal induced by low mass planets. Mod…

Physical and orbital properties of Beta Pictoris b

M. Bonnefoy, G. -D. Marleau, R. Galicher +13

The intermediate-mass star Beta Pictoris is known to be surrounded by a structured edge-on debris disk within which a gas giant planet was discovered orbiting at 8-10 AU. The physi…

Using the Sun to estimate Earth-like planets detection capabilities. III. Impact of spots and plages on astrometric detection

A. -M. Lagrange, N. Meunier, M. Desort +1

Stellar activity is a potential important limitation to the detection of low mass extrasolar planets with indirect methods (RV, photometry, astrometry). In previous papers, using t…
