Magnetic Activity and Physical Parameters of Exoplanet Host Stars Based on LAMOST DR7, TESS, Kepler, and K2 Surveys

Abstract

Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) low- and medium-resolution spectroscopic surveys are important for determination of the orbital parameters and chromospheric activity of extrasolar planet systems. We crossmatched the exoplanet catalog confirmed before 2021 March 11 with the LAMOST DR7 survey to study their properties. There are 1026 targets with exoplanets observed in the LAMOST DR7 low-resolution spectroscopic survey and 158 targets in the medium-resolution spectroscopic survey. We have calculated the equivalent width of the Hα line and determined their stellar activity. The Hα and flare intensities are almost constant for the Rossby number Ro ≤ 0.12 in the saturated regime and decrease with increasing Ro in the unsaturated regime. In addition, we searched the flare events of all stars with exoplanets in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), Kepler, and K2 surveys. Among the 733 extrasolar planetary systems observed by TESS, we found 481 flares from 57 stars. For Kepler data, we obtained the light curve of 1699 stars and found 1886 flares from 417 stars. For K2 data, we obtained the light curves of 347 stars and found 467 flares from 89 stars. There were light curves of 361 objects with obvious eclipse observed from the TESS survey. We have fitted their light curves with a high signal-to-noise ratio using the JKTEBOP program, and we reobtained the orbital parameters, such as inclination, radius, and period. In the end, we made a judgment on the habitability of exoplanets of stars with flares.
