利用Hobby-Eberly望远镜探测HD 74156系统中的第三颗行星

Detection of a Third Planet in the HD 74156 System Using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope

摘要:

我们报告发现了G 0恒星HD 74156的第三颗行星质量伴星。高精度的径向速度测量与霍比-埃伯利望远镜协助检测这个对象。三重开普勒模型与所有可用的速度数据的最佳拟合得出新行星的轨道周期为347天,最小质量为0.4 M_Jup。修正后的轨道周期分别为51.7天和2477天,最小质量分别为1.9和8.0兆焦耳。初步计算表明,这三颗行星的轨道是稳定的,尽管它们都有显著的轨道偏心率(e = 0.64、0.43和0.25)。通过我们的探测,HD 74156成为第八颗拥有三颗或更多行星的正常恒星。对该系统动力学特征的进一步研究将可能对行星形成和演化过程提供重要的见解。

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of a third planetary mass companion to the G0 star HD 74156. High precision radial velocity measurements made with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope aided the detection of this object. The best fit triple Keplerian model to all the available velocity data yields an orbital period of 347 days and minimum mass of 0.4 M_Jup for the new planet. We determine revised orbital periods of 51.7 and 2477 days, and minimum masses of 1.9 and 8.0 M_Jup respectively for the previously known planets. Preliminary calculations indicate that the derived orbits are stable, although all three planets have significant orbital eccentricities (e = 0.64, 0.43, and 0.25). With our detection, HD 74156 becomes the eighth normal star known to host three or more planets. Further study of this system's dynamical characteristics will likely give important insight to planet formation and evolutionary processes.
