摘要:

我们报告了两颗演化恒星kappa CrB(HD 142091)和HD 167042的精确多普勒测量结果,这两颗恒星是在利克天文台获得的,这是我们寻找中等质量亚巨星行星的一部分。两颗恒星径向速度的周期性变化揭示了亚恒星轨道伴星的存在。这两颗恒星的质量分别为1.80 Msun和1.64 Msun,表明它们是从主序星演化出来的A型矮星,现在是K型次巨星。这颗行星的最小质量为Msini = 1.8 Mjup,离心率e = 0.146,周期为1208天,半长轴为2.7 AU。围绕HD 167042的行星最小质量为Msini = 1.7 Mjup,公转周期为412.6天,半长轴为1.3 AU。HD 167042 b的离心率与圆形一致(e = 0.027+/-0.04),加入了罕见的长周期圆形轨道的系外行星,类似于太阳系气体巨星。与之前发现的所有围绕演化A型恒星的行星一样,kappa CrBb和HD 167042 b的轨道超过0.8天文单位。

英文摘要:

We report precise Doppler measurements of two evolved stars, kappa CrB (HD142091) and HD 167042, obtained at Lick Observatory as part of our search for planets orbiting intermediate-mass subgiants. Periodic variations in the radial velocities of both stars reveal the presence of substellar orbital companions. These two stars are notably massive with stellar masses of 1.80 Msun and 1.64 Msun, indicating that they are former A-type dwarfs that have evolved off of the main sequence and are now K-type subgiants. The planet orbiting kappa CrB has a minimum mass Msini = 1.8 Mjup, eccentricity e = 0.146 and a 1208 day period, corresponding to a semimajor axis of 2.7 AU. The planet around HD167042 has a minimum mass Msini = 1.7 Mjup and a 412.6 day orbit, corresponding to a semimajor axis of 1.3 AU. The eccentricity of HD167042b is consistent with circular (e = 0.027+/-0.04), adding to the rare class of known exoplanets in long-period, circular orbits similar to the Solar System gas giants. Like all of the planets previously discovered around evolved A stars, kappa CrBb and HD167042b orbit beyond 0.8 AU.
