The radial velocity or line-of-sight velocity of a target with respect to an observer is the rate of change of the vector displacement between the two points. It is formulated as the vector projection of the target-observer relative velocity onto the relative direction or line-of-sight (LOS) connecting the two points.

Doppler spectroscopy detects periodic shifts in radial velocity by recording variations in the color of light from the host star. When a star moves towards the Earth, its spectrum is blueshifted, while it is redshifted when it moves away from us.

2019年5月1日 · Radial velocity is one of the key measurements in understanding the fundamental properties of stars, stellar clusters and the Galaxy. A plate of stars in the Kepler field was observed in May of 2018 with the medium-resolution spectrographs of LAMOST, aiming to test the performance of this new system which is the upgraded equipment of LAMOST ...

To measure the radial velocity, you obtain a spectrum of the star and you measure the wavelength of a number of spectrum lines (i.e. your measure their positions along the length of the spectrum) and you compare the wavelengths with the wavelengths of a comparison laboratory spectrum, such as an arc or a discharge tube, adjacent to the stellar ...

unambiguous at accuracy levels of 1 m s−1, we analyse different concepts of radial velocity and their interrelations. At this accuracy level, a strict separation must be made between the purely geometric concepts on one hand, and the spectroscopic measurement on the other. Among the geometric concepts we define kinematic radial velocity,

2019年10月1日 · In this work, radial velocities of the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope-II (LAMOST-II) medium-resolution (R ∼ 7500) spectra are measured for 1,594,956 spectra (each spectrum has two wavebands) through matching with templates. A set of RV standard stars are used to recalibrate the zero point of the measurement, and ...

2023年1月1日 · In this paper, the atmospheric parameters and a time series of radial velocities are given, and the spectroscopic orbital solutions of HIP 443, HIP 2170, HIP 7487, HIP 8086, HIP 17932, HIP 20935, HIP 51157, HIP 80116 are determined by fitting the measured radial velocities and published ones simultaneously.

Accuracy levels of metres per second require the fundamental concept of "radial velocity'' for stars and other distant objects to be examined, both as a physical velocity, and as measured by spectroscopic and astrometric techniques.

The radial velocity of the system – or its centre of mass – relative to the Sun is called, naturally, the systemic velocity, and is one of the things we should be able to determine from spectroscopic observations. I shall be using the symbol V 0 for the systemic velocity, though I have seen some authors use the symbol γ and even

The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) is a magnitude-limited (9 < I < 12) spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars randomly selected in the southern hemisphere. The Rave medium resolution spectra (R ˜ 7500) cover the Ca-triplet region (8410 - 8795 Å) and span the complete time frame from the start of RAVE observations on 12 April 2003 to their ...
