The Topic

Stellar variability phenomena, such as supergranulation and magnetically active regions, produce radial velocity signals that can easily impede the detection of Earth-like planets.

In this splinter we will discuss the current theoretical understanding of these phenomena, the state of the art in modeling their impact on radial velocities. In particular, we will focus on the connection between convection and magnetism.

Splinter Format

The splinter session will be divided in two blocks, separated by a 30-minute coffee break:

  • Block 1: Stellar variability and its impact on extremely precise radial velocities
  • Block 2: Connecting convection and magnetic activity
Each block will include an invited talk, 3 contributed talks, and a 25-minute discussion.
We encourage the community to submit abstracts for contributed talks, and to submit questions and inputs for the discussion session, to ensure an engaging and fruitful discussion.
