摘要:

我们确认了13个行星系中的27颗行星,通过显示存在统计上显著的反相关过境时间变化(TTV),这表明行星候选人在同一个系统中,以及长期的动力学稳定性,这限制了候选人的质量-表明它们是行星。%这种行星确认的总体方法首先应用于\kepler系统23到32。所有这些新确认的行星系都有接近一阶平均运动共振(MMR)的轨道周期,包括6个接近2:1 MMR的系统,5个接近3:2的系统,以及4:3,5:4和6:5的系统。此外,在一些系统中存在几颗未经证实的候选行星(目前无法用这种方法证实)。这些候选者中的一些也将与已确认的行星或其他候选者接近一阶MMR。开普勒-56(KOI-1241)是一对行星,围绕着一颗12等的巨星运行,其半径超过太阳的三倍,有效温度为4900 K-是已知拥有凌日系外行星系统的最大恒星。

英文摘要:

We confirm 27 planets in 13 planetary systems by showing the existence of statistically significant anti-correlated transit timing variations (TTVs), which demonstrates that the planet candidates are in the same system, and long-term dynamical stability, which places limits on the masses of the candidates---showing that they are planetary. %This overall method of planet confirmation was first applied to \kepler systems 23 through 32. All of these newly confirmed planetary systems have orbital periods that place them near first-order mean motion resonances (MMRs), including 6 systems near the 2:1 MMR, 5 near 3:2, and one each near 4:3, 5:4, and 6:5. In addition, several unconfirmed planet candidates exist in some systems (that cannot be confirmed with this method at this time). A few of these candidates would also be near first order MMRs with either the confirmed planets or with other candidates. One system of particular interest, Kepler-56 (KOI-1241), is a pair of planets orbiting a 12th magnitude, giant star with radius over three times that of the Sun and effective temperature of 4900 K---among the largest stars known to host a transiting exoplanetary system.
