论文摘要
对未来空间和地面系外行星调查的研究通常依赖于行星系统模型来模拟仪器响应,估计科学产量,进行贸易分析和研究有效的观察策略。到目前为止,尚无行星系统模型包含使用所有主要系外行星检测方法进行研究所必需的所有基本物理。在这里,我们介绍了由新工具Exovista生成的此类模型的套件。 Exovista工具迅速生成了数千个模型的准自动符合的行星系统,围绕附近的恒星在散射的光波长处,并有效地记录所有身体的速度,速度,光谱和物理参数作为时间的功能。模型的行星系统可用于使用直接成像,传输,天文和径向速度技术以及这些不同方法的重叠来模拟调查。
Studies of future space- and ground-based exoplanet surveys often rely on models of planetary systems to simulate instrument response, estimate scientific yields, perform trade analyses, and study efficient observation strategies. Until now, no planetary system models contained all of the basic physics necessary to enable study with all of the major exoplanet detection methods. Here we introduce a suite of such models generated by a new tool, exoVista. The exoVista tool quickly generates thousands of models of quasi-self-consistent planetary systems around known nearby stars at scattered light wavelengths and efficiently records the position, velocity, spectrum, and physical parameters of all bodies as functions of time. The modeled planetary systems can be used to simulate surveys using the direct imaging, transit, astrometric, and radial velocity techniques, as well as the overlap of these different methods.
