神秘的偏心:GJ 328的巨行星和活动周期

Secretly Eccentric: The Giant Planet and Activity Cycle of GJ 328

Paul Robertson, Michael Endl, William D. Cochran, Phillip J. MacQueen, Alan P. Boss

摘要:

我们宣布发现了一颗质量约为200亿颗的行星,它绕着K7/M0矮星GJ 328的偏心轨道运行了11年。我们的结果是基于来自麦克唐纳天文台的Hobby-Eberly和Harlan J. Smith望远镜以及莫纳克亚山的Keck望远镜的10年径向速度(RV)数据。我们通过Na I D特征对GJ 328的磁活动进行的分析揭示了一个长周期的恒星活动周期,这在恒星的RV曲线中产生了振幅为6-10 m/s的额外信号。在校正了恒星RV的贡献之后,我们看到行星的轨道比原始RV数据所显示的更偏心。GJ 328 b是目前发现的围绕低质量矮星运行的最大、周期最长的行星。

英文摘要:

We announce the discovery of a ~2 Jupiter-mass planet in an eccentric 11-year orbit around the K7/M0 dwarf GJ 328. Our result is based on 10 years' worth of radial velocity (RV) data from the Hobby-Eberly and Harlan J. Smith telescopes at McDonald Observatory, and from the Keck Telescope at Mauna Kea. Our analysis of GJ 328's magnetic activity via the Na I D features reveals a long-period stellar activity cycle, which creates an additional signal in the star's RV curve with amplitude 6-10 m/s. After correcting for this stellar RV contribution, we see that the orbit of the planet is more eccentric than suggested by the raw RV data. GJ 328b is currently the most massive, longest-period planet discovered around a low-mass dwarf.
