摘要:

类太阳恒星是有希望的系外行星的候选者,并且经常被包括在通过径向速度(RV)和直接成像的系外行星调查中。在本文中,我们报告了附近的太阳类似恒星HD 104304,这以前被认为是主机的行星质量或褐矮星同伴的恒星伴星的检测。我们用高角分辨率成像来表征行星形成环境,在太阳系外行星的宿主恒星周围寻找近距离的恒星和亚恒星伴星。伴星的探测是通过高角分辨率测量实现的,使用的是欧洲南方天文台NTT 3.5米处的AstraLux Sur仪器的“幸运成像”技术。我们将结果与VLT/NACO存档数据相结合,其中也可以检测到伴侣。这些结果与2001年至2010年在利克和凯克天文台获得的HD 104304的精确RV测量结果进行了比较。我们确认了双星系统的共同自行。导出伴星的光谱类型为M4 V,质量为0.21M_Sun。由于比较的数据与RV测量的未经证实的行星候选人在太阳系外行星百科全书,我们认为,发现的同伴是起源的RV趋势和轨道倾角约35度解释了相对较小的RV信号。

英文摘要:

Sun-like stars are promising candidates to host exoplanets and are often included in exoplanet surveys by radial velocity (RV) and direct imaging. In this paper we report on the detection of a stellar companion to the nearby solar-analogue star HD 104304, which previously was considered to host a planetary mass or brown dwarf companion. We searched for close stellar and substellar companions around extrasolar planet host stars with high angular resolution imaging to characterize planet formation environments. The detection of the stellar companion was achieved by high angular resolution measurements, using the "Lucky Imaging" technique at the ESO NTT 3.5m with the AstraLux Sur instrument. We combined the results with VLT/NACO archive data, where the companion could also be detected. The results were compared to precise RV measurements of HD 104304, obtained at the Lick and Keck observatories from 2001-2010. We confirmed common proper motion of the binary system. A spectral type of M4V of the companion and a mass of 0.21 M_Sun was derived. Due to comparison of the data with RV measurements of the unconfirmed planet candidate listed in the Extrasolar Planets Encyclopaedia, we suggest that the discovered companion is the origin of the RV trend and that the inclination of the orbit of approximately 35 degrees explains the relatively small RV signal.
