中文摘要
将获得三台新的0.8米自动化光电望远镜,用于对北半球和南半球的候选行星目标恒星进行高精度光度测量。这些望远镜将补充高分辨率的多普勒光谱,从可以模拟周期性多普勒效应的恒星磁场变化中分离出真正的系外行星候选者。
英文摘要
AST-0520740/Henry, Tennessee State UniversityThree new 0.8 m automated photoelectric telescopes will be obtained for high-precision photometry of planetary-candidate target stars in the northern and southern hemispheres. The telescopes will complement high-resolution Doppler spectroscopy to separate out true exoplanet candidates from stellar magnetic variations that can mimic periodic Doppler effects.
