Can we find 4 planets in the RV data for GL 581?

2 = 0.186
3 = 0.077
4 = 0.015
Note: for Fourier analysis we deal with frequencies (1/P) and not periods
![Page 7: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
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 frequency
Published solution:

Published solution:

P2 = 3.8 d, K = 1.2 m/s
P3 = 39 d, K = 1.14 m/s
P1 = 4.214 d, K = 2.09 m/s

The Planetary System around 61 Vir?
The Period04 solution:
Note: a 0.895 m/s offset was applied to the AAT data
= 2.17 m/s = 2.02 m/s
With different periods and amplitudes (and the same number of sine functions) we have come up with a better solution.

Problem #1
Largest peak is at 55 d, second peak is at 3.8 d, not 4.2 d. The False Alarm Probability of the 3.8 d peak is 0.004. I only believe planets with FAP << 0.001
Problem #2
Removing first two signals gives a peak at 39 d, but I do not believe it!
![Page 12: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
AAT Data only
Peak at 55 d (0.018 c/d), but nothing signficant at 4.2 d (0.24 c/d)
Remove the strongest peak and get two signals at 0.033 c/d (30 d, moon contamination?) and another at 0.26 c/d (3.8 d), but smaller peak at 4.44 d
![Page 13: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Peak at 10.3 d (0.097c/d)

Conclusions about the „Planetary System“ around 61 Vir
1. Combined data shows a 3.8 d period, not 4.26 d
2. AAT data shows 3.8 d peak
3. Individual data sets do not show either 39 d, or 124 d signal
There might be a signal at ~4 d, but the fact that different data sets give different answers makes me doubt this
The other two „planets“ are noise
→ This is not a robust or confirmed planetary system because a different approach gives an entirely different answer!

Exoplanets around low mass stars
Ongoing 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:
• Giant planets (2) around GJ 876. Giant planets around low mass M dwarfs seem rare
• Hot neptunes around several.
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 off the Main Sequence“
Result: 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.

And sometimes this junk hits something.
On Jupiter you get big holes.
On the Earth it can destroy most of life.

What would the Solar System Look Like without Jupiter?
Conclusion: Jupiters at 5 AU may be important for the development of intelligent life!
G. Wetherill asked this question and through numerical simulations establised:
• The gravitational influence of Jupiter quickly removes most of the junk from the solar system.
• Without Jupiter the frequency of a cataclysmic collision like the one that killed off the dynosaurs would occur every 100.000 years instead of every 150.000.000 Years

Radial Velocity Measurements of Eri
Large scatter is because this is an active star. It has been argued that this is not a planet at all, but rather the signal due to activity.

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 50: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/50.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
![Page 51: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Endl et al. 2007: HD 155358 two planets and..
…[Fe/H] = –0.68. This certainly muddles the metallicity-planet connection

The Hyades
![Page 53: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
• 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.
![Page 54: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Something else is funny about the Hyades:
Spitzer observations of the Hyades suggest that the fraction of stars in the Hyades with debris disks is comparable to old field stars and significantly less than for stars with planets.
→ In the cluster environment of the Hyades, whatever something removed the disks so planets could not form.

Where does this emission core come from?
Keep in mind:
1. Strong spectral lines are formed higher up in the atmosphere
2. The core of a line is formed higher up than the wings.
The core of the line is formed in the chromosphere where the temperature is higher

Doppler image of V 410 Tau: A Weak T Tauri Star

In a Galaxy (The Milky Way) a long time ago (1990) I did some simulations. I new that active stars had polar spots and I asked the question: „What would the RV and bisector variations look like for a star with a polar spot viewed nearly pole on. My results (from memory):
1. The RV curve is nearly sinusoidal
2. There are virtually no bisector span variations detectable at resolving power R =100,000
3. The largest effect is in the bisector curvature, but high resolution is needed to detect this. R ´= 50,000 (resolving power of TW Hya measurements) is too low.
![Page 73: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
• TW Hya is a T Tauri star (that will become a weak T Tauri star) viewed pole-on
• It most likely has a decentered polar spot (Doppler images of another TW Hya association star indeed shows a polar spot)
From my lecture of 2009: What is needed to confirm this:
1. Contemporaneous photometry (but this star has a disk and complicated light variations)
2. RV measurements in the infrared where the spot contrast is smaller.
![Page 74: Radial Velocity Detection of Planets: II. Results](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081516/5681474d550346895db4907f/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)

Confirming Extrasolar Planet Discoveries made with Radial Velocity Measurements
The commandments of planet confirmation:
• Must have long-lived coherent periodic variations
• RV amplitude must be constant with wavelength
• Must not have photometric variations with the same period as the planet
• Must not have Ca II H&K emission variations with the planet period
• Most not have line shape (bisector) variations with the same period as the planet

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
Pros:
• Most successful detection method• Gives you a dynamical mass• Distance independent
• Will provide the bulk (~1000) discoveries in the next 10+ years

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

Summary of Exoplanet Properties from RV Studies
• ~6% 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
• Massive planets tend to have large orbital radii
• Stars with higher metallicity tend to have a higher frequency of planets, but this needs confirmation
