Activity indices for southern stars

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have acquired high-resolution echelle spectra of 225 F6-M5 type stars in the Southern hemisphere.

Description

The stars are targets or candidates to be targets for the Anglo-Australian Planet Search. CaII H&K line cores were used to derive activity indices for all of these objects.

The indices were converted to the Mt. Wilson system of measurements and logR'_HK_ values determined. A number of these stars had no previously derived activity indices.

In addition, we have also included the stars from Tinney et al. (2002MNRAS.332..759T) using our Mt. Wilson calibration. The radial-velocity instability (also known as jitter) level was determined for all 21 planet-host stars in our data set.

We find the jitter to be at a level considerably below the radial-velocity signatures in all but one of these systems. 19 stars from our sample were found to be active (logR'_HK_>-4.5) and thus have high levels of jitter. Radial-velocity analysis for planetary companions to these stars should proceed with caution.
