Dive into the fascinating world of exoplanet detection with the CARMENES survey. This video explores how scientists use over 8 years of data from 350 M dwarf stars to tackle stellar activity, a major hurdle in finding rocky planets in habitable zones.
Learn about the chromatic index (CRX), which measures how radial velocity changes with wavelength. Stellar activity varies by wavelength, while planets don't—key for distinguishing signals.
We analyze correlations with 24 activity indices and stellar parameters, plus an updated Rossby number for M dwarfs. Results show 17% of stars have strong CRX-RV links, improving RV precision up to 4x by correcting for activity.
Mid M dwarfs with moderate rotation and stable activity see the best gains, paving the way for detecting low-mass rocky worlds. Perfect for astronomy enthusiasts and future astrobiologists!
