CaRM parameters.

Parameter Physical meaning
Vsys [km s−1] Systematic velocity of the system
Rp/R* Radius ratio between planet and host star
K [km s−1] Keplerian semi-amplitude
a/R Semi-major axis in units of stellar radius
ip [°] Orbital inclination
λ [°] Spin-orbit angle
σ0 [km s−1] ( * ) Width of the best Gaussian fit to the CCFs
log(σW) Jitter logarithm amplitude
ξ [km] Linear slope
log(a) ( * *) Log-amplitude of the GP kernel
log(τ) ( * *) Log-timescale of the GP kernel
Δϕ0 Shift in phase about the mid-transit

Stellar properties

v sin i [km s−1] ( * ) Projected stellar rotation velocity
ui Limb-darkening coefficients
β0 [km s−1] ( * ) Width of the nonrotating star
ζt [km s−1] ( * ) Macro-turbulence amplitude
(Teff,  σTeff) [K] Effective temperature and uncertainty
(log(g), σlog(g)) Surface gravity and uncertainty
([Fe/H],  σ[Fe/H]) [dex] Metallicity and uncertainty

Notes. The first set corresponds to the orbital properties combined with the parameters that may help to model activity signals. The second constitutes the set of stellar properties, from which ui, v sin i, β0, and ζt are also employed for the RM modeling. ( * )These parameters are replaced in the PyAstronomy RM model by the stellar angular velocity Ω. Additionally it is necessary to provide the inclination of the stellar rotation axis i. This model does not incorporate the macro-turbulence effect on the RM anomaly. ( * *)Used for GPs.
