摘要:

我们提出并分析了一个新的M'检测年轻的系外行星β Picasso b从2008年VLT/NaCo数据在分离的~ 4 AU和高信号噪声再减少的L'数据在2009年12月。根据我们的轨道分析,这颗行星的轨道几乎是完美的边缘(i ~ 89度),并且有一个类似土星的半长轴9.50(+3.93,-1.7)AU。有趣的是,这颗行星的轨道与外盘的主轴(欧米茄~ 31度)对齐,但可能与80 AU的翘曲/倾斜盘不对齐,通常被认为是这颗行星存在的路标。我们的研究结果激发了新的研究,以澄清$β$ Pic b如何雕刻碎片盘结构,以及是否需要第二颗行星来解释翘曲/倾斜盘。

英文摘要:

We present and analyze a new M' detection of the young exoplanet beta Pictoris b from 2008 VLT/NaCo data at a separation of ~ 4 AU and a high signal-to-noise rereduction of L' data taken in December 2009. Based on our orbital analysis, the planet's orbit is viewed almost perfectly edge-on (i ~ 89 degrees) and has a Saturn-like semimajor axis of 9.50 (+3.93, -1.7) AU. Intriguingly, the planet's orbit is aligned with the major axis of the outer disk (Omega ~ 31 degrees) but probably misaligned with the warp/inclined disk at 80 AU often cited as a signpost for the planet's existence. Our results motivate new studies to clarify how $β$ Pic b sculpts debris disk structures and whether a second planet is required to explain the warp/inclined disk.
