摘要:

利用食极HU Aqr的精确时间,我们发现这个极地被两个或更多的巨行星环绕。到目前为止探测到的两颗行星的质量至少为5.9和4.5\,M_{Jup}。它们与极地的距离分别为3.6AU和5.4AU,周期分别为6.54和11.96年。由O-C曲线向下的抛物线变化导出的观测周期减小率比引力辐射的预期值大15倍。这表明它可能只是长周期周期变化的一部分,揭示了另一颗行星的存在。值得注意的是,这两颗发现的环联星行星遵循太阳系行星的提图斯-波德定律,n=5和6。我们估计,再过10年的观测将揭示预测的第三颗行星的存在。

英文摘要:

Using the precise times of mid-egress of the eclipsing polar HU Aqr, we discovered that this polar is orbited by two or more giant planets. The two planets detected so far have masses of at least 5.9 and 4.5\,M_{Jup}. Their respective distances from the polar are 3.6 AU and 5.4 AU with periods of 6.54 and 11.96 years, respectively. The observed rate of period decrease derived from the downward parabolic change in O-C curve is a factor 15 larger than the value expected for gravitational radiation. This indicates that it may be only a part of a long-period cyclic variation, revealing the presence of one more planet. It is interesting to note that the two detected circumbinary planets follow the Titus-Bode law of solar planets with n=5 and 6. We estimate that another 10 years of observations will reveal the presence of the predicted third planet.
