关于M型行星矮星的金属丰度

On the Metal-Richness of M Dwarfs with Planets

John A. Johnson, Kevin Apps

摘要:

关于M矮星金属丰度的知识主要依赖于邦菲尔斯和合作者的测光校准,该校准预测太阳附近的M矮星,包括那些已知的行星,与它们的高质量对应物相比,是系统性的贫金属。我们测试这一预测使用体积有限的样本低质量的恒星,连同一个子集的M矮星与高金属丰度,F,G和K宽的二元同伴。我们发现Bonfils等人的光度校准系统地低估了我们的高金属丰度M矮星的金属丰度,平均为0.32 dex。我们推导出一个新的光度金属丰度校准,并表明,M矮星的行星似乎是系统的金属丰富,这一结果是一致的FGK矮星的行星的金属丰度分布。

英文摘要:

Knowledge of the metallicities of M dwarfs rests predominantly on the photometric calibration of Bonfils and collaborators, which predicts that M dwarfs in the solar neighborhood, including those with known planets, are systematically metal-poor compared to their higher-mass counterparts. We test this prediction using a volume-limited sample of low-mass stars, together with a subset of M dwarfs with high-metallicity, F, G amd K wide binary companions. We find that the Bonfils et al. photometric calibration systematically underestimates the metallicities of our high-metallicity M dwarfs by an average of 0.32 dex. We derive a new photometric metallicity calibration and show that M dwarfs with planets appear to be systematically metal-rich, a result that is consistent with the metallicity distribution of FGK dwarfs with planets.
