Descripción
Searches for planets around evolved G-K subgiant and giant stars are
essential for developing general understanding of planet formation and
evolution of the planetary systems. Precise radial velocity (RV)
measurements of giants have lead to the discovery of ten planets around
such star. However, the long period radial velocity variations of red
giants may also have other than planetary nature. Non-radial
oscillations or rotational modulation due to starspots can also induce
RV variations, thereby mimicking the gravitational influence of low-mass
companions. In this work we present bisector analysis of five carefully
selected lines for two stars from our survey.
