ET
IMPACT DE L’ACTIVITÉ STELLAIRE
EN INTERÉROMÉTRIE OPTIQUE
Introduction
 Nowadays, more than 800 exoplanets have been detected




Radial velocity (RV): most prolific method
Transit method (a few thousand Kepler candidates)
Astrometry
Microlensing…
 Difficulties to characterize them:
 RV  Mpl sin i / M*
 Transit method  Rpl / R*
 Better precision on the stars parameters  exoplanets parameters.

2.2 Method
We fix all parameters but one, and
make it vary.
 Fixed values: θ*=1 mas, Ipl=0,
x=0.2 mas, α=0.5.
 Variation:
 Of x: from 0 to 0.5 mas
 Of θpl: from 0.04 to 0.24
 Of α for studying the impact
of LD: from 0.44 to 0.74.
 α, x fixed, and variation of θpl/θ*
(steady ratio).
 α, x, θspot, θ* fixed, variation of
Ispot.

2.3 Results
Variation of the Visibility:
No solution is found for θpl< 0.13 mas
for 2% difference. For θpl< 0.09 mas,
much larger baselines are needed.
Variation of the closure phase:
CHARA baselines exist.

2.3 Results
For exoplanets
In general, very small exoplanets (θpl< 0.10 mas) need MBL>200m to be detected
on the closure phase.
Having more than 2% difference on the visibilities is not possible.
 Need of the closure phases more than the visibility
For now, only big exoplanets (hot Jupiter, Neptune-like planets) have a chance to
be detected by interferometry.
For spots
Less contrast with spots than exoplanets  need bigger baselines
The intensity of the spot would allow to disentangle between spots and
exoplanets.

CONCLUSION
 Exoplanets and spots have a signature in optical interferometry.
 More significant signature for exoplanets than for spots for the same size,
because the contrast is higher.
 With VEGA/CHARA accuracy, we would distinguish spots and exoplanets
essentially with the measure of the closure phase, but signature on the
visibility for big enough planets and spots.
 The presence of spots hardly affects the visibilities, thus the diameters.
 Limitation: geometrical model, taking into account only one feature at the
time. We could model a full spotted stellar surface for more accuracy, and
even with granulation..
