Radial velocity curve of HD 189733

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Extra-solar planet search programs require high-precision velocity measurements.

Description

They need to study how to disentangle radial-velocity variations due to Doppler motion from the noise induced by stellar activity. We monitored the active K2V star HD 189733 and its transiting planetary companion that has a 2.2-day orbital period.

We used the high-resolution spectrograph SOPHIE mounted on the 1.93-m telescope at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence to obtain 55 spectra of HD 189733 over nearly two months. We refined the HD 189733b orbit parameters and put limits on the eccentricity and on a long-term velocity gradient. After subtracting the orbital motion of the planet, we compared the variability of spectroscopic activity indices to the evolution of the radial-velocity residuals and the shape of spectral lines.

The radial velocity, the spectral-line profile and the activity indices measured in HeI (5875.62{AA}), Halpha (6562.81{AA}) and the CaII H&K lines (3968.47{AA} and 393 3.66{AA}) show a periodicity around the stellar rotation period and the correlations between them are consistent with a spotted stellar surface in rotation. We used such correlations to correct for the radial-velocity jitter due to stellar activity. This results in achieving high precision on the orbit parameters, with a semi-amplitude K=200.56+/-0.88m/s and a derived planet mass of M_P_=1.13+/-0.03M_{Jup}_.
