摘要:

我们的主要目标是寻找中等质量恒星周围的行星。我们也有兴趣研究K巨星径向速度(RV)变化的性质。研究方法:我们选择了大约55颗亮于5等的早期K巨星(K 0- K4),这些恒星是使用BOES观测到的,BOES是一台附在BOAO(宝贤山光学天文台)1.8米望远镜上的高分辨率摄谱仪。BOES配备了$I_2$吸收池,用于高精度RV测量。结果:观测到K 0 III型恒星\gam 1 leo的径向速度存在周期性变化,周期为429天。观测到的RV的轨道拟合产生的周期P = 429天,半振幅K = 208 \mps,和偏心率e = 0.14。为了研究RV变化的性质,我们分析了\gam 1 leo的光度、CaII $λ$ 8662等效宽度和线平分线变化。我们的结论是,检测到的RV的变化可以最好地解释了一个行星的同伴,估计质量为m $\sin i = 8.78 M_{Jupiter}$和半长轴的$a = 1.19$ AU,假设恒星质量为1.23 \Msun。

英文摘要:

Aims: Our primary goal is to search for planets around intermediate mass stars. We are also interested in studying the nature of radial velocity (RV) variations of K giant stars. Methods: We selected about 55 early K giant (K0 - K4) stars brighter than fifth magnitude that were observed using BOES, a high resolution spectrograph attached to the 1.8 m telescope at BOAO (Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory). BOES is equipped with $I_2$ absorption cell for high precision RV measurements. Results: We detected a periodic radial velocity variations in the K0 III star \gam1leo with a period of P = 429 days. An orbital fit of the observed RVs yields a period of P = 429 days, a semi-amplitude of K = 208 \mps, and an eccentricity of e = 0.14. To investigate the nature of the RV variations, we analyzed the photometric, CaII $λ$ 8662 equivalent width, and line-bisector variations of \gam1leo. We conclude that the detected RV variations can be best explained by a planetary companion with an estimated mass of m $\sin i = 8.78 M_{Jupiter}$ and a semi-major axis of $a = 1.19$ AU, assuming a stellar mass of 1.23 \Msun.
