摘要:

褐矮星和低质量恒星伴星是有趣的研究对象,因为它们占据了氘和氢燃烧之间的质量区域。我们在这里报告的一个低质量的伴侣在偏心轨道上围绕太阳型主序星的偶然发现。主星TYC 2534-698-1是一颗G2 V恒星,在几个月的时间里,它被光谱学和光度学监测。径向速度观测表明伴星的最小质量为0.037太阳质量,轨道周期约为103天。在凌日窗外的测光显示,这颗恒星的稳定度在~6毫马。轨道的半长轴将伴星置于“棕矮星沙漠”中,我们讨论了可能限制伴星质量的潜在后续观测。

英文摘要:

Brown dwarfs and low-mass stellar companions are interesting objects to study since they occupy the mass region between deuterium and hydrogen burning. We report here the serendipitous discovery of a low-mass companion in an eccentric orbit around a solar-type main sequence star. The stellar primary, TYC 2534-698-1, is a G2V star that was monitored both spectroscopically and photometrically over the course of several months. Radial velocity observations indicate a minimum mass of 0.037 M_solar and an orbital period of ~103 days for the companion. Photometry outside of the transit window shows the star to be stable to within ~6 millimags. The semi-major axis of the orbit places the companion in the 'brown dwarf desert' and we discuss potential follow-up observations that could constrain the mass of the companion.
