The impact of numerical derivatives on radial velocity extraction
A. M. Silva, K. Al Moulla
The radial velocity (RV) method is a widely used technique to infer planetary masses and orbital parameters. One of the most widely used methods to compute RVs is based on the alig…
The impact of interpolation in high-resolution spectroscopy -- The overlooked role of interpolation in radial velocity extraction
A. M. Silva, D. Doshi, K. Al Moulla +11
We explore the impact of spectral interpolation in radial velocity (RV) time-series extracted through template-based methods. We build synthetic datasets with Gaussian profiles to…
Synthesizing Sun-as-a-star flare spectra from high-resolution solar observations
M. De Wilde, A. G. M. Pietrow, M. K. Druett +22
Spatially resolved observations of the Sun and the astronomical sample size of stellar bodies are the respective key strengths of solar and stellar observations. However, the large…
TILARA: Template-Independent Line-by-line Algorithm for Radial velocity Analysis. I. Description of the code and application on a Sun-like star
C. San Nicolas Martinez, N. C. Santos, V. Adibekyan +3
Precise radial velocities (RVs) are commonly derived through cross-correlation or template-matching methods, both of which rely on a reference spectrum that can introduce biases wh…
A Decade of Solar High-Fidelity Spectroscopy and Precise Radial Velocities from HARPS-N
X. Dumusque, K. Al Moulla, M. Cretignier +53
We recently released 10 years of HARPS-N solar telescope and the goal of this manuscript is to present the different optimisations made to the data reduction, to describe data cura…
SOAPv4: A new step toward modeling stellar signatures in exoplanet research
E. Cristo, J. P. Faria, N. C. Santos +6
We present and describe a new version of the spot oscillation and planet code, SOAPv4. Our aim is to demonstrate its capabilities in modeling stellar activity in the context of RV…
