VizieR Online Data Catalog: Radial velocity exploration of {epsilon} Eridani (Mawet+, 2019)
Abstract
{epsilon} Eridani has been included in planet search programs at both Keck Observatory using the HIRES Spectrometer (Howard et al. 2010ApJ...721.1467H) and at Lick Observatory using the Automated Planet Finder (APF) and Levy Spectrometer. {epsilon} Eridani was observed on 206 separate nights with HIRES and the APF, over the past 7 yr. Keck/HIRES (Vogt et al. 1994SPIE.2198..362V) RV observations were obtained starting in 2010, using the standard iodine cell configuration of the California Planet Survey (CPS) (Howard et al. 2010ApJ...721.1467H). During the subsequent 7 yr, 91 observations were taken through the B5 or C2 deckers (0.87"x3.5", and 0.87"x14", respectively), yielding a spectral resolution of R~55000 for each observation. Each RV exposure was timed to yield a per-pixel S/N of >~200 at 550 nm, with typical exposure times of only a few seconds due to the brightness of the target. RV observations using the APF and Levy Spectrograph (Radovan et al. 2014SPIE.9145E..2BR; Vogt et al. 2014PASP..126..359V) were taken starting in late 2013. The APF is a 2.4 m telescope dedicated to performing RV detection and follow-up of planets and planet candidates, also using the iodine cell method of wavelength calibration. APF data on {epsilon} Eridani were primarily taken through the W decker (1"x3"), with a spectral resolution of R~110000. Exposures were typically between 10 and 50 s long, yielding S/N per-pixel of 140.
