由哈勃空间望远镜天体测量和高精度径向速度确定HD136118候选系外行星伴星的质量

摘要:

我们使用哈勃空间望远镜精细制导传感器天体测量和来自HET的HD 136118的高节奏径向速度以及Lick的存档数据来确定HD 136118 b的完整轨道参数。我们发现候选系外行星的轨道倾角为i_{b} = 163.1 +- 3.0度。这确定了物体的实际质量,M_{b} = 42^{+11}-{-18} MJup,而仅根据径向速度数据确定的最小质量M_{b} sin{i} ~ 12 MJup。因此,HD 136118的低质量伴星现在被确定为可能居住在“棕矮星沙漠”中的棕矮星。

英文摘要:

We use Hubble Space Telescope Fine Guidance Sensor astrometry and high-cadence radial velocities for HD136118 from the HET with archival data from Lick to determine the complete set of orbital parameters for HD136118b. We find an orbital inclination for the candidate exoplanet of i_{b} = 163.1 +- 3.0 deg. This establishes the actual mass of the object, M_{b} = 42^{+11}_{-18} MJup, in contrast to the minimum mass determined from the radial velocity data only, M_{b}sin{i} ~ 12 MJup. Therefore, the low-mass companion to HD 136118 is now identified as a likely brown dwarf residing in the "brown dwarf desert".
