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…
The Fe I 4377 Ã 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-…
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…
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…
Transformational astrophysics and exoplanet science with Habitable Worlds Observatory's High Resolution Imager
Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…
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…
