Abstract:
The intrinsic variability due to the magnetic activity of young active
stars is one of the main challenges in detecting and characterising
exoplanets. The stellar activity is responsible for jitter effects
observed both in photometric and spectroscopic observations that could
impact our planetary detection sensitivity.
We present a method able to model the stellar photosphere and its
surface inhomogeneities (starspots) in young/active and fast-rotating
stars, based on the cross-correlation function (CCF) technique, to
extract information about the spot configuration of the star.
We developed SpotCCF, a tool able to model the deformation of the CCF
profile due to the presence of multiple spots on the stellar surface.
Within the Global Architecture of Planetary Systems (GAPS) Project at
the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, we analysed more than 300 spectra of
the young planet-hosting star V1298 Tau provided by HARPS-N
high-resolution spectrograph. By applying the SpotCCF model to the
CCFs we extracted the spot configuration (latitude, longitude and
projected filling factor) of this star, and also provided the new RVs
time series of this target.
We find that the features identified in the CCF profiles of V1298 Tau
are modulated by the stellar rotation, supporting our assumption that
they are caused by starspots. The analysis suggests a differential
rotation velocity of the star with lower rotation at higher latitudes.
Also, we find that SpotCCF provides an improvement in RVs extraction
with a significantly lower dispersion with respect to the commonly
used pipelines, with consequent mitigation of the stellar activity
contribution modulated with stellar rotation. A detection sensitivity
test, by the direct injection of a planetary signal into the data,
confirmed that the SpotCCF model improves the sensitivity and ability
to recover planetary signals.
Our method enables the modelling of the stellar photosphere,
extracting the spot configuration of young/active and rapidly rotating
stars. It also allows for the extraction of optimised RV time series,
thereby enhancing our detection capabilities for new exoplanets and
advancing our understanding of stellar activity.
