摘要:

我们提出在恒星GJ 758周围1.9”= 29 AU的投影距离处发现一颗褐矮星或可能的行星,将其置于亚恒星同伴预计通过核心吸积(~5 AU)或直接引力坍缩(通常>100 AU)形成的距离之间。该物体是通过Subaru/HiCIAO对其热辉光直接成像而探测到的。GJ 758 B的质量是木星的10-40倍,温度为550-640 K,是为数不多的已知T型伴星之一,也是有史以来在类太阳恒星周围的热光成像中最冷的伴星。它的轨道可能是偏心的,大小与冥王星的轨道相当,可能是引力散射或向外迁移的结果。一个候选的第二个伴星在一个历元的1.2”处被探测到。

英文摘要:

We present the discovery of a brown dwarf or possible planet at a projected separation of 1.9" = 29 AU around the star GJ 758, placing it between the separations at which substellar companions are expected to form by core accretion (~5 AU) or direct gravitational collapse (typically >100 AU). The object was detected by direct imaging of its thermal glow with Subaru/HiCIAO. At 10-40 times the mass of Jupiter and a temperature of 550-640 K, GJ 758 B constitutes one of the few known T-type companions, and the coldest ever to be imaged in thermal light around a Sun-like star. Its orbit is likely eccentric and of a size comparable to Pluto's orbit, possibly as a result of gravitational scattering or outward migration. A candidate second companion is detected at 1.2" at one epoch.
