摘要:

这封信报告了在G1581系统中发现的两颗超级地球行星,已知它们拥有一颗热海王星。其中一颗行星的质量为5 M地球,位于恒星宜居带的“温暖”边缘。因此,它是已知的最像我们地球的系外行星。另一颗行星有7.7 M地球质量,轨道距离恒星0.25 AU,接近宜居带的“冷”边缘。这两颗围绕M3矮星的新的轻行星进一步证实了先前的初步统计趋势:i)在M矮星周围发现的非常低质量的行星比在太阳型恒星周围发现的更多,ii)在M矮星周围发现的低质量行星数量超过木星行星。

英文摘要:

This Letter reports on the detection of two super-Earth planets in the Gl581 system, already known to harbour a hot Neptune. One of the planets has a mass of 5 M_Earth and resides at the ``warm'' edge of the habitable zone of the star. It is thus the known exoplanet which most resembles our own Earth. The other planet has a 7.7 M_Earth mass and orbits at 0.25 AU from the star, close to the ``cold'' edge of the habitable zone. These two new light planets around an M3 dwarf further confirm the formerly tentative statistical trend for i) many more very low-mass planets being found around M dwarfs than around solar-type stars and ii) low-mass planets outnumbering Jovian planets around M dwarfs.
