Estrellas de Baja Masa, Enanas Marrones y Planetas

    General
    Descripción

    Se investigan los procesos que conducen a la formación de estrellas de baja masa, enanas marrones y exoplanetas y caracterizar las propiedades físicas de estos astros en varias etapas evolutivas. Las estrellas de muy baja masa y las enanas marrones son probablemente los objetos más numerosos de nuestra Galaxia, pero no por ello están suficientemente bien establecidas sus propiedades. En particular, los objetos subestelares constituyen uno de los grupos más difíciles de estudiar desde el punto de vista observacional dada su baja luminosidad intrínseca. Se pretende establecer la frecuencia, multiplicidad y distribución espacial de estrellas ultrafrías y objetos subestelares en la vecindad del Sol y en regiones de formación estelar y cúmulos cercanos con el fin de proporcionar información sobre los mecanismos que los originan, caracterizar sus propiedades ópticas e infrarrojas, y establecer relaciones entre sus propiedades espectrales, masas y luminosidades. Se hace especial énfasis en empujar la frontera de detección hacia los objetos de menor masa, bien sea como objetos ligados por atracción gravitatoria a otros, o flotando libremente en el espacio interestelar. Los objetos menos masivos también suelen ser los de menor luminosidad intrínseca y temperaturas superficiales más frías por lo que entrañan notable dificultad de detección por medio de imagen directa. Sin embargo, la detección directa permite una caracterización fotométrica y espectroscópica mucho más completa y una mejor determinación de sus propiedades físicas y químicas. También se pretende investigar la presencia de exoplanetas en estrellas de baja masa empleando técnicas de medida de velocidad radial con muy alta precisión y técnicas de muy alta resolución espacial. Se trabaja en el desarrollo de espectrógrafos ultraestables para grandes telescopios y de sistemas de imagen ultrarrápida. Con los primeros es posible lograr la detección de planetas con masas similares a la de la Tierra en estrellas de tipos G, K y M un objetivo que se persigue es establecer la frecuencia de estos planetas en las estrellas de la vecindad solar y caracterizar las propiedades de los sistemas planetarios a los que pertenecen.

    • Metallicities in M dwarfs: Investigating different determination techniques
      Deriving metallicities for solar-like stars follows well-established methods, but for cooler stars such as M dwarfs, the determination is much more complicated due to forests of molecular lines that are present. Several methods have been developed in recent years to determine accurate stellar parameters for these cool stars (T eff ≲ 4000 K)

    • The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs. Diagnostic capabilities of strong K I lines for photosphere and chromosphere
      There are several strong K I lines found in the spectra of M dwarfs, among them the doublet near 7700 Å and another doublet near 12 500 Å. We study these optical and near-infrared doublets in a sample of 324 M dwarfs, observed with CARMENES, the high-resolution optical and near-infrared spectrograph at Calar Alto, and investigate how well the lines

      Up to now, WASP-12b is the only hot Jupiter confirmed to have a decaying orbit. The case of WASP-43b is still under debate. Recent studies preferred or ruled out the orbital decay scenario, but further precise transit timing observations are needed to definitively confirm or refute the period change of WASP-43b.

However, multi-planet systems usually host mini-Neptunes and super-Earths, whose sizes make orbital architecture measurements challenging. We introduce the Rossiter
