Fit of the Orbit Best fit (Konopacky et al. in prep) Stable orbit

c d b The System’s Age • Age determined: • Galactic space motion • Color-magnitude diag. • BUT: • Single field-star • Bootis (Marois et al. 2008)
The System’s Age • HR 8799 is a -Dor variable (has g-modes (and p-modes ???)) • In-depth asteroseismologic modeling of the host star will be used to derive an independent age of the system.
f1 = 1.9791 d-1 f2 = 1.7268 d-1 f3 = 1.6498 d-1 f4 = 0.2479 d-1 Photometry of HR 8799 Associated with g-modes b) • Zerbi et al. (1999) • a) Window function • b) folded light- curves Not a final solution a)
HR 8799 with MOST • Confirmed 3 first freq. published by Zerbi (1999) • + 38 other freq.
HR 8799 with MOST • Granulation? « Nah… » - Jason Rowe
Spectroscopy of HR 8799 • Full mode determination is impossible with broad-band photometry only (sensitive to small values of l) • The determination of both l and m requires high resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopic monitoring

DAO (CND) OHP (Fr) OAO (JPN) Taut (D) Lick (USA) Mercator (Es) Multi-Site Campaign + many others with ROB! (e. g. Xinglong, BAO, La Silla, …)
Multi-Site Campaign • Continuous monitoring - 2 weeks • Time span over ~2 years!!! • R=50-60 000 on ~4000-8000 Å
Multi-Site Campaign • 15-day sample of contig. obs. (OAO, Lick, Taut., DAO)
Multi-Site Campaign • Using only ~900 spectra obtained last September (many more spectra to come)
The model(s) • Nothing that I can present yet… • Two teams are working on it.
The model(s) • Fairly well studied • Inclination must be small (<20˚)
The model(s) • Shows X-ray variations!!! • Due to stellar spots? (Robrade & Schmitt 2010)
The models • Moya (s) et al. 2010:
Moya (s) et al. 2010 What they prefer At the limit
Chené et al. 2010… Stay tuned!
The END Thank you very much André-Nicolas Chené (NRC/HIA/CGO) ~35 co-authors…
