白矮星周围行星的极限

Limits on Planets Around White Dwarf Stars

F. Mullally, D. E. Winget, Steven Degennaro, Elizabeth Jeffery, S. E. Thompson, Dean Chandler

摘要:

我们提出了脉动白矮星的行星伴侣的限制。这些恒星的一个子集在它们的一些脉动模式的周期和相位上表现出极端的稳定性;通过搜索这些脉动到达时间的周期性变化,可以在这样的恒星周围检测到行星。作为正在进行的调查的一部分,我们提出了对15颗白矮星样本周围大于几个木星质量的同伴的限制。一颗恒星的到达时间变化与一颗2 M_J的行星在4.5年的轨道上一致。我们讨论了观测到的信号的其他可能的解释,并得出结论,行星是最合理的解释的基础上,现有的数据。

英文摘要:

We present limits on planetary companions to pulsating white dwarf stars. A subset of these stars exhibit extreme stability in the period and phase of some of their pulsation modes; a planet can be detected around such a star by searching for periodic variations in the arrival time of these pulsations. We present limits on companions greater than a few Jupiter masses around a sample of 15 white dwarf stars as part of an on-going survey. One star shows a variation in arrival time consistent with a 2 M_J planet in a 4.5 year orbit. We discuss other possible explanations for the observed signal and conclude that a planet is the most plausible explanation based on the data available.
