1. BackgroundIn Figueira et al.(2013) we proposed a new line profile variation indicator, V asy. For a given spectral line, this indicator evaluates the asymmetry in the radial velocity (RV) information content. By evaluating this asymmetry and associating the quantity to an RV variation, it is possible to identify whether the variation stems from a deformation of the line profile or from a bona fide RV shift. In Figueira et al.(2013) we defined that (1) in which W i are the weights of the point calculated at the flux level i, as defined in Eq.(8) of Bouchy et al.(2001), where (2) with λ (i) and A 0 (i) representing the wavelength and flux of the spectra, respectively, and the detector readout noise. Since we are working in the velocity space, the wavelength is a velocity. This is standard procedure and has been applied extensively to the cross-correlation function (CCF). Moreover, we are working in a very high signal-to-noise domain as such,. We can then rewrite the previous equation in the form of (3) in which RV (i) is the RV value of each pixel (ie x-axis) of the CCF. For every flux level i, we consider three quantities: the blue wing information, W i (blue); the red wing information, W i (red); and the average between the two,, as representative of the weight of the information content at this flux level for an undeformed line.
