• Abstract: The detection of exoplanets with the radial velocity method consists in detecting variations of the stellar velocity caused by an unseen sub-stellar companion. Instrumental errors, irregular time sampling, and different noise sources originating in the intrinsic variability of the star can hinder the interpretation of the data, and even lead to spurious detections. In recent times, work began to emerge in the field of extrasolar planets that use Machine Learning algorithms, some with results that exceed those obtained with the traditional techniques in the field. We seek to explore the scope of the neural networks in the radial velocity method, in particular for exoplanet detection in the presence of correlated noise of stellar origin. In this work, a neural network is proposed to replace the computation of the significance of the signal detected with the radial velocity method and to classify it as of planetary origin or not. The algorithm is trained using synthetic data of systems with and without planetary companions. We injected realistic correlated noise in the simulations, based on previous studies of the behaviour of stellar activity. The performance of the network is compared to the traditional method based on null hypothesis significance testing. The network achieves 28 % fewer false positives. The improvement is observed mainly in the detection of small-amplitude signals associated with low-mass planets. In addition, its execution time is five orders of magnitude faster than the traditional method. The superior performance exhibited by the algorithm has only been tested on simulated radial velocity data so far. Although in principle it should be straightforward to adapt it for use in real time series, its performance has to be tested thoroughly. Future work should permit evaluating its potential for adoption as a valuable tool for exoplanet detection.

  This paper presents a novel convolutional neural network-based algorithm that efficiently models stellar activity signals at the spectral level. It has been tested on three intensively observed stars: Alpha Centauri B (HD128621), Tau ceti (HD10700), and the Sun. Our algorithm is even more efficient at mitigating stellar activity signals and can reach a threshold of 0.2 m/s, which would correspond to a 2.2$mathrmM_oplus$ planet on the orbit of the Earth.

We learn a model of the spatial, temporal and spectral characteristics of the nuisance, directly from the observations. A convolutional neural network (CNN) is then trained in a supervised fashion to detect the residual signature of synthetic sources.

  Using simulations and real data, we investigate the capabilities of a Deep Neural Network approach to produce activity free Doppler measurements of stars. We demonstrate that the RV-independent approach can drastically reduce spurious Doppler variability from known physical effects. We observe a good match of the correction with the observed variability, but we also find that the noise reduction is not as good as in the simulations.
