Campbell & Walker: The Pioneers of RV Planet Searches
1980-1992 searched for planets around 26 solar-type stars. Even though they found evidence for planets, they were not 100% convinced. If they had looked at 100 stars they certainly would have found convincing evidence for exoplanets.
1988:

„Probable third body variation of 25 m s–1, 2.7 year period, superposed on a large velocity gradient“
Campbell, Walker, & Yang 1988

Eri was a „probable variable“
![Page 6: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Filled circles are data taken at McDonald Observatory using the telluric lines at 6300 Ang as a wavelength reference
The first extrasolar planet around a normal star: HD 114762 with Msini = 11 MJ discovered by Latham et al. (1989)
![Page 7: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Rate of Radial Velocity Planet Discoveries
![Page 8: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
51 Pegasi b: The Discovery that Shook up the Field
Discovered by Michel Mayor & Didier Queloz, 1995
Period = 4,3 Days
Semi-major axis = 0,05 AU (10 Stellar Radii!)
Mass ~ 0,45 MJupiter
![Page 9: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Mass Distribution Global Properties of Exoplanets:
i decreasing
probability decreasing
Because we only measure msini one could argue that all of these companions are not planets but low mass stars viewed near i = 0 degrees.
![Page 10: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
P(i < ) = 1– cos Probability an orbit has an inclination less than
e.g. for m sin i = 0.5 MJup for this to have a true mass of 0.5 Msun sin i would have to be 0.01. This implies = 0.6 deg or P =0.00005: highly unlikely!
Argument against stars #1
This argument was probably valid when you had 10 exoplanets, but with 700 it is highly unlikely that all of them are stellar companions viewed at a low inclination
![Page 11: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Argument against stars #2
We have detected approximately 200 transiting planets where we know the inclination. All of these have masses in the planetary regime.
![Page 12: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Brown Dwarf Desert
Mass Distribution Global Properties of Exoplanets:
Planet: M < 13 MJup → no nuclear burning
Brown Dwarf: 13 MJup < M < ~80 MJup → deuterium burning
Star: M > ~80 MJup → Hydrogen burning
![Page 13: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Brown Dwarf Desert: Although there are ~100-200 Brown dwarfs as isolated objects, and several in long period orbits, there is a paucity of brown dwarfs (M= 13–50 MJup) in short (P < few years) as companion to stars
![Page 14: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
An Oasis in the Brown Dwarf Desert: HD 137510 = HR 5740
![Page 15: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The distinction between brown dwarfs and planets is vague. Until now the boundary was taken as ~ 13 MJup where deuterium burning is possible. But this is arbitrary as deuterium burning has little influence on the evolution of the brown dwarf compared to the planet
Brown Dwarfs versus Planets
Bump due to deuterium burning
![Page 16: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A better boundary is to use the different distributions between stars and planets:
By this definition the boundary between planets and non-planets is 20 MJup
![Page 17: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
A note on the naming convention:
Name of the star: 16 Cyg
If it is a binary star add capital letter B, C, D
If it is a planet add small letter: b, c, d
55 CnC b : first planet to 55 CnC
55 CnC c: second planet to 55 CnC
16 Cyg B: fainter component to 16 Cyg binary system
16 Cyg Bb: Planet to 16 Cyg B
The IAU has yet to agree on a rule for the naming of extrasolar planets
![Page 18: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Semi-Major Axis Distribution
The lack of long period planets is a selection effect since these take a long time to detect
The short period planets are also a selection effect: they are the easiest to find and now transiting surveys are geared to finding these.
![Page 19: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Eccentricity versus Orbital Distance
Note that there are few highly eccentric orbits close into the star. This is due to tidal forces which circularizes the orbits quickly.
![Page 20: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Eccentricity distribution
Fall off at high eccentricity may be partially due to an observing bias…
![Page 21: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
e=0.4 e=0.6 e=0.8

…high eccentricity orbits are hard to detect!
![Page 22: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
For very eccentric orbits the value of the eccentricity is is often defined by one data point. If you miss the peak you can get the wrong mass!
![Page 23: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Comparison of some eccentric orbit planets to our solar system
At opposition with Earth would be 1/5 diameter of full moon, 12x brighter than Venus
16 Cyg Bb was one of the first highly eccentric planets discovered
![Page 24: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mass versus Orbital Distance
There is a relative lack of massive close-in planets
![Page 25: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Classes of planets: 51 Peg Planets: Jupiter mass planets in short period orbits
![Page 26: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• ~40% of known extrasolar planets are 51 Peg planets with orbital periods of less than 20 d. This is a selection effect due to:
1. These are easier to find.
2. RV work has concentrated on transiting planets
• 0.5–1% of solar type stars have giant planets in short period orbits
• 5–10% of solar type stars have a giant planet (longer periods)
Classes of planets: 51 Peg Planets

Another short period giant planet
![Page 28: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Msini = 14-20 MEarth
Classes of planets: Hot Neptunes
Note that the scale on the y-axes is a factor of 100 smaller than the previous orbit showing a hot Jupiter
![Page 29: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
If there are „hot Jupiters“ and „hot Neptunes“ it makes sense that there are „hot Superearths“
Mass = 7.4 ME P = 0.85 d
CoRoT-7b
Hot Superearths were discovered by space-based transit searches

Classes of Planets: The Massive Eccentrics
• Masses between 7–20 MJupiter
• Eccentricities, e > 0.3
• Prototype: HD 114762 discovered in 1989!
m sini = 11 MJup

As of 2011 there were no massive planets in circular orbits
Classes: The Massive Eccentrics
![Page 32: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Now there is more, but still relatively few. Ignoring the blue points (close in planets) there are ~ 10 planets with masses > 10 MJup with e < 0.2 and ~20 with e > 0.2
Classes: The Massive Eccentrics
![Page 33: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Planet-Planet Interactions
Initially you have two giant planets in circular orbits
These interact gravitationally. One is ejected and the remaining planet is in an eccentric orbit
Lin & Ida, 1997, Astrophysical Journal, 477, 781L

• Most stars are found in binary systems• Does binary star formation prevent planet
formation?
• Do planets in binaries have different characteristics?• What role does the environment play?• Are there circumbinary planets? (see Kepler
Lecture!)
Why should we care about binary stars?

If you look hard enough, many exoplanet host stars in fact have stelar companions
A new stellar companion to the planet hosting star HD 125612
Mugrauer & Neuhäuser 2009
Approximately 17% of the exoplanet hosting stars have stellar companions (Mugrauer & Neuhäuser 2009). Most of these are in wide systems.

Neuhäuser et al. Derive an orbital inclination of AB of 119 degrees. If the binary and planet orbit are in the same plane then the true mass of the planet is 1.8 MJup.
![Page 43: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
The planet around Cep is difficult to form and on the borderline of being impossible.
Standard planet formation theory: Giant planets form beyond the snowline where the solid core can form. Once the core is formed the protoplanet accretes gas. It then migrates inwards.
In binary systems the companion truncates the disk. In the case of Cep this disk is truncated just at the ice line. No ice line, no solid core, no giant planet to migrate inward. Cep can just be formed, a giant planet in a shorter period orbit would be problems for planet formation theory.
![Page 44: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
The interesting Case of 16 Cyg B
Effective Temperature: A=5760 K, B=5760 KSurface gravity (log g): 4.28, 4.35
Log [Fe/H]: A= 0.06 ± 0.05, B=0.02 ± 0.0416 Cyg B has 6 times less Lithium
These stars are identical and are „solar twins“. 16 Cyg B has a giant planet with 1.7 MJup in a 800 d period
![Page 45: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Kozai Mechanism: One Explanation for the high eccentricty of 16 Cyg B
Two stars are in long period orbits around each other.
A planet is in a shorter period orbit around one star.
If the orbit of the planet is inclined, the outer planet can „pump up“ the eccentricity of the planet. Planets can go from circular to eccentric orbits.
This was first investigated by Kozai who showed that satellites in orbit around the Earth can have their orbital eccentricity changed by the gravitational influence of the Moon
![Page 46: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Kozai Mechanism: changes the inclination and eccentricity

Can we find 4 planets in the RV data for GL 581?
1 = 0.317 cycles/d
2 = 0.186
3 = 0.077
4 = 0.015
Note: for Fourier analysis we deal with frequencies (1/P) and not periods

The Period04 solution:P1 = 5.38 d, K = 12.7 m/s
P2 = 12.99 d, K = 3.2 m/s
P3 = 83.3 d, K = 2.7 m/s
P4 = 3.15, K = 1.05 m/s
P1 = 5.37 d, K = 12.5 m/s
P2 = 12.93 d, K = 2.63 m/s
P3 = 66.8 d, K = 2.7 m/s
P4 = 3.15, K = 1.85 m/s
=1.53 m/s=1.17 m/s
Almost:
Conclusions: 5.4 d and 12.9 d probably real, 66.8 d period is suspect, 3.15 d may be due to noise and needs confirmation.
A better solution is obtained with 1.4 d instead of 3.15 d, but this is above the Nyquist sampling frequency
Published solution:

Exoplanets around low mass stars (Mstar < 0.4 Msun)Programs:
• ESO UVES program (Kürster et al.): 40 stars• HET Program (Endl & Cochran) : 100 stars• Keck Program (Marcy et al.): 200 stars• HARPS Program (Mayor et al.):~200 stars
Results:• ~15 planets around low mass (M = 0.15-0.4 Msun)• Giant planets (2) around GJ 876. Giant planets around low mass M dwarfs seem rare• Hot neptunes around several → low mass start tend to have low mass planets
Currently too few planets around M dwarfs to make any real conclusions

Exoplanets around massive stars
Difficult with the Doppler method because more massive stars have higher effective temperatures and thus few spectral lines. Plus they have high rotation rates. A way around this is to look for planets around giant stars. This will be covered in „Planets around evolved stars“
Result: Only a few planets around early-type, more massive stars, and these are mostly around F-type stars (~ 1.4 solar masses)

Preliminary conclusions: more massive stars have more massive planets with higher frequency. Less massive stars have less massive planets → planet formation is a sensitive function of the planet mass.

Planets and the Properties of the Host Stars: The Star-Metallicity Connection

The „Bracket“ [Fe/H]
Take the abundance of heavy elements (Fe for instance)
Ratio it to the solar value
Take the logarithm
e.g. [Fe/H] = –1 → 1/10 the iron abundance of the sun
![Page 69: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
These are stars with metallicity [Fe/H] ~ +0.3 – +0.5
There is believed to be a connection between metallicity and planet formation. Stars with higher metalicity tend to have a higher frequency of planets. This is often used as evidence in favor of the core accretion theory
Valenti & Fischer
The Planet-Metallicity Connection?
There are several problems with this hypothesis

• Hyades stars have [Fe/H] = 0.2
• According to V&F relationship 10% of the stars should have giant planets,
The Hyades
• Paulson, Cochran & Hatzes surveyed 100 stars in the Hyades
• According to V&H relationship we should have found 10 planets
• We found zero planets!Something is funny about the Hyades.

•The integrated line profile is distorted.
•The ratio of dark lane to hot cell areas changes with the solar cycle

A constant star
In the IR the radial velocity variations have 1/3 the amplitude in the optical. This is what expected from spots that have a smaller contrast in the IR
![Page 87: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022042509/56814a67550346895db782e0/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
How do you know you have a planet?
1. Is the period of the radial velocity reasonable? Is it the expected rotation period? Can it arise from pulsations?
• E.g. 51 Peg had an expected rotation period of ~30 days. Stellar pulsations at 4 d for a solar type star was never found
2. Do you have Ca II data? Look for correlations with RV period.
3. Get photometry of your object
4. Measure line bisectors
5. And to be double sure, measure the RV in the infrared!

Summary
Radial Velocity Method
Cons:• Only effective for cool stars. • Most effective for short (< 10 – 20 yrs)
periods
• Only high mass planets (no Earths…yet!)
• Only get projected mass (msin i)
• Other phenomena (pulsations, spots, etc.) can mask as an RV signal. Must be careful in the interpretation

Summary of Exoplanet Properties from RV Studies
• ~5% of normal solar-type stars have giant planets
• ~10% or more of stars with masses ~1.5 Mּס have giant planets that tend to be more massive (more on this later in the course)
• < 1% of the M dwarfs stars (low mass) have giant planets, but may have a large population of neptune-mass planets
→ low mass stars have low mass planets, high mass stars have more planets of higher mass → planet formation may be a steep function of stellar mass
• 0.5–1% of solar type stars have short period giant plants
• Exoplanets have a wide range of orbital eccentricities (most are not in circular orbits)
• Massive planets tend to be in eccentric orbits and have large orbital radii
•Stars with higher metallicity tend to have a higher frequency of planets, but this needs confirmation
