9 Detectability of planets around intermediate mass stars with Doppler techniques 50 m/s 2 m/s A type MS star, K and G subgiants and giants (~1.2-5 solar masses) 9
10 Detectability of planets around low mass stars with Doppler techniques 10 m/s 1 m/s M dwarfs ( solar masses) 10
11 Detectability of RV planets: Doppler precision ( ) and RV signal semi-amplitude (K) Largely depends on K/, cadence and number of observations if photon noise error is dominant K/ ~2 False Alarm Probability About 50% planets with K/ ~2 and relatively low orbit eccentricity can be detected with ~30 randomly distributed observations over more than 1 period 11

25 High resolution echelle vs. dispersed FDI Stellar echelle spectrum x comb FDI spectrum Credits: Julian van Eyken 25
26 Instrument Drift Calibration Method I: Absorption cell Superimposing of rest from absorption lines on stellar lines: HF and iodine in the optical The most popular one: iodine absorption lines m 26
27 Modeling the Observations The observation is modeled as the product of two functions, the intrinsic stellar spectrum, I S, and the transmission function of the iodine absorption cell, T 12 and convolved with the spectrograph PSF and binned to the wavelength extent of the CCD pixels. I obs ( ) k T ( ) I ( ) * PSF 12 s where k is a normalization factor, is the Doppler shift, and * represents convolution. 27
28 Process for determining Doppler shift in stellar spectra using the echelle and iodine technique (Butler et al. 1996) Iodine template stellar template Synthetic spectrum Residual The Doppler shift is determined by comparing the model to the observation using 28 a standard Marquardt non-linear least squares algorithm
29 Best Doppler precision with echelle plus iodine at Keck with HIRES with R~80,000 (Vogt et al.) Long term Doppler precision is around 1 m/s 29
30 Instrument Drift Calibration Method II: ThAr separation beam calibration Thorium lines 30 From Mayor 2005
31 Operating HARPS on the ESO 3.6m telescope in temperature controlled vacuum chamber Instrument long term stability: T =0.01 K P=0.01 mbar From Mayor
32 HARPS Thermal stability Stability during one day: K rms Stability during one year: <0.01 K 32 From Rupprecht et al., 2004
33 RV tracking performance with simultaneous ThAr reference 33 Mayor et al. 2003, The ESO Messenger
34 RV Observations of HD with HARPS Three planets around HD (a K0V, V=5.75) Overall rms for the RV residuals is 0.81 m/s: earlier measurements with 1.5m/s and later with 0.64 m/s (Lovis et al 2006) 34
35 Advantage and disadvantage of these two calibration methods Iodine: Robust and nearly independent of environment changes Long term stability Reliable statistics on planet properties Limited wavelength coverage, only m ThAr: Large wavelength coverage potential much better precision and suitable for different spectral stars Easy data processing Required very high thermal and pressure stability for high precision and long term stability Less reliable for long term calibration and possible more long term systematic errors 35
36 Planet mass distribution from California Group Less certain at less than 0.2 Jupiter mass planets due to Doppler sensitivity Less certain in brown dwarf desert due to relatively small survey sample / / / / / / / / / Marcy et al
37 Extrasolar planet orbital distribution from California Group 3 day pile-up incomplete Marcy et al There appear to be a dip in the orbital distribution between a few days to 1 year 37
38 Exoplanet orbital eccentricity distribution from California Group Marcy et al Most of the extrasolar planets are in the eccentric orbits, unlike the solar system planets! 38
39 Eccentricity distribution fall off at high value Hatzes et al Fall off at high value due to observation bias? Or real? 39
40 Multiple planet systems from California Group 28 well defined multiple planet systems (Wright et al. 2009) 4 of them are in the motion resonant About 28% planet systems have multiple planets including long term trends Planets in multiple systems have less eccentric orbits Single planet system shows 3 day pileup while multiple systems show a more homogenous distribution in log-period 40

42 Planet occurrence versus stellar mass for giant planet within 2.5AU (Johnson et al. 2007) Planet occurrence strongly correlated with stellar masses 42
43 Major Limitations for RV Planet Surveys Stellar intrinsic limitation Photon noise limited to relatively bright stars and solar type stars IR Doppler technique for low mass stars Stellar activity (about a few m/s to ~100 m/s) Photometry, Bisector variation and Ca II emission IR observations Binary stars Multiple dimensional cross-correlations (Mazeh et al.) Acoustic modes (asteroseismology) Integrate over 15 min to average out RV variation 43
44 Major Limitations for RV Planet Surveys External limitation Small sample due to single object capability, only about ~3000 stars well observed over the last 14 years at a dozen telescopes Multiple object surveys Wavelength calibration issue with iodine and Thar Astro laser combs cm/s precision Telescope guiding Fiber mode scrambling 0.1 m/s possible Stability in the illumination of spectrograph Instrument environment control, pupil mask etc Detector-related effects Careful modeling, sampling a resolution elementt by more than 2 pixels 44
45 Next Generation Extrasolar Planet Surveys Multiple object exoplanet surveys to largely increase survey sample (including intermediate mass stars) Example: Multi-object APO Radial Velocity Exoplanet Large-area Survey (MARVELS) Global high precision Doppler instrument network to increase RV sample and better handle stellar noises Example: EXtremely high Precision Extrasolar planet Tracker (EXPERT) network Infrared Doppler planet surveys to include low mass stars and young stars Example: Florida IR Silicon immersion grating spectrometer (FIRST) 45
46 MARVELS Survey To monitor a total of 10,000 V= FGK dwarfs and subgiants, & 1,000 V= G and K giants with minimal metallicity and age biases for detecting and characterizing ~200 giant planets using SDSS telescope in Use all of the bright time in and share the bright time with APOGEE in Each of ~120 fields will be monitored about 30 times over ~18 months Two multi-object Doppler instruments with a total of 120 object capability The wavelength coverage ~ nm Spectral resolution ~10,000 Doppler precision (photon noise limit) in 1 hour exposures: 3.4m/s (V=8), 8.5 m/s (V=10) and 21.3 m/s (V=12) 46
47 The MARVELS Survey Science Goals Principal science goals: find a homogeneous sample of several hundreds of giant planets that can be used for statistical study of planet properties and comparison to theory constrain formation, migration & dynamical evolution of planetary systems discovery of rare systems (e.g. Very Hot Jupiters, short-period super-massive planets, short-period eccentric planets, transiting planets, highly eccentric planets, rapidly interacting multiple planet systems, planets orbiting low-metallicitiy host stars, planets around active and young stars, and other rare types of planets) signposts for lower-mass or more distant planets quantify the emptiness of the brown dwarf desert 47
48 MARVELS Survey Target Selection Effective temperature and gravity plot of target candidates of 7 fields Targets initially selected from GSC2.3 catalog matched up with 2MASS for J, H, K colors Metallicity distribution SDSS spectroscopy preselection efficiently remove giants (e.g., log g < 3.0) and stars that are too hot (e.g., T eff > 6250 K) from the initially color selected targets 25-35% of the ~500 candidates per field are acceptable targets 48
49 Distribution of POST-Selection T eff of MARVELS Targets ~30% of our sample between G2V-F8V, ~70% are later than G2V 49
50 Final Distribution of Targets Final distributions based on 41 of the 60 first season fields ~90% of MARVELS targets having V < 11.5 ~55% main sequence stars, ~35% subgiants and ~10% giants 50

57 Two Example Planet Candidates by MARVELS A short period planet candidate with P=8.8 days, e=0.3, Msini=1.5M J An intermediate period planet candidate with P=25.1 days, e=0.1, Msini=4.1M J 57
58 RV uncertainty as a function of V magnitude ~75% stars with rms errors within 1-2 photon limiting errors, ~25% with much large RMS due to short period binaries, giant stars, low visibility, outliers etc. 58 Further refining of data pipeline to approach photon noise limiting performance.
