Radial Velocity Jitter in Stars from the California and Carnegie Planet Search at Keck Observatory

Open access

Abstract

I present an empirical model for predicting a star's radial velocity jitter from its B - V color, activity level, and absolute magnitude. This model is based on observations of ∼450 well‐observed stars from Keck Observatory for the California and Carnegie Planet Search Program. The model includes noise from both astrophysical sources and systematic errors, and describes jitter as generally increasing with a star's activity and height above the main sequence.

    “…velocities is “jitter” due, in part, to flows and inhomogeneities on the stellar surface that can produce variations in the measured radial velocity of a star, and can even mimic the signature of planetary companions (Henry, Donahue, & Baliunas (2002); Queloz et al. (2001); Santos et al. (2003)).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
