Читать книгу The Doppler Method for the Detection of Exoplanets - Professor Artie Hatzes - Страница 8

It is a pleasure to thank all of the scientists and students who helped in the preparation of this book. It would not have been possible without them.

I thank the Tautenburg Observing School: Jaime Avalos, Clark Baker, Dugasa Belay Zeleke, Richard Bischoff, Martin Blazek, Sireesha Chamarthi, Michael Debus, Jana Dvorakova, Vanessa Fahrenschon, Andreea Gornea, Sascha Grziwa, Engin Keles, Hannah Kellermann, Sarah-Jane Köntges, Oliver Lux, Priscilla Muheki, Eva Plávalová Jan Subjak, Jerusalem Tamirat, Fabian Wunderlich, and Jiri Zak. They were kind enough to give up observing time for some crucial tests that are presented in this book.

Silvia Sabotta provided me with an RV time series made with the iodine cell. Priyanka Chaturvedi produced the synthetic stellar spectra used in this work. Figures and data highlighting results from CARMENES were provided by Ansgar Reiners, Ignas Ribas, Guillem Anglada-Escudé, Mathias Zechmeister, and of course, the entire CARMENES consortium. Ulf Seeman provided valuable figures and input for the CRIRES⁺ gas absorption cell.

A special thanks goes to Michael Hartmann who provided me with results from his PhD. His analysis of two roAp stars nicely demonstrated how the use of different templates for calculating the RV can produce conflicting results. He also provided me with the typesetting of the GLS equations and a short description of the GLS periodograms. This saved me some work.

I thank Patrick Lenz who developed Period04 which was an indispensible tool for the preparation of this book.

I also thank my wife, Ingrid Schutzmann, who tolerated more than a few “book writing” weekends and helped clear time for me.

Finally, a sincere and heartfelt thank you to two very important people: Gordon Walker, who showed us all how to perform precise stellar RVs and whose work was an inspiration to me, and finally, William Cochran, who got me into the business of detecting exoplanets with the RV method. This book is dedicated to them.
