Dealing with activity in RV planet searches
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 October 2016
Abstract
Precise radial velocity measurements of a star allow to search for planets. But this method has to face with irregularly time series. Stellar variabilities: pulsation, granulation, stellar activity on a short and long timescale, also modify the measure of the radial velocities. There is indeed a growing literature of controversies on how a signal is interpreted as a planet or due to stellar activity. I present how the star variations change the measured RVs, which techniques and indices are used by several teams to disentangle activity and planets, and the future options that are being studied.
