摘要:

我们结合$Spitzer$和地面KMTNet微透镜观测,以识别和精确测量$1.16^{+0.16}_{-0.13}$ AU的地球质量($1.43^{+0.45}_{-0.32} M_\oplus$)行星OGLE-2016-BLG-1195 Lb,它绕着一颗$0.078^{+0.016}_{-0.012} M_\odot$超冷矮星运行。这是迄今为止质量最低的微透镜行星。在$3.91^{+0.42}_{-0.46}$ kpc,它是$Spitzer$“银河系分布”行星中第三个连续的情况,朝向银河系凸起,而不是银河系凸起本身,暗示行星的倾斜分布。结合之前的微透镜发现,围绕超冷矮星TRAPPIST-1的七颗地球大小的行星,以及在年轻棕矮星周围发现的圆盘,OGLE-2016-BLG-1195 Lb表明这样的行星可能在超冷矮星周围很常见。因此,它揭示了在低质量原行星盘的极限下,超冷矮星和行星系的形成。

英文摘要:

We combine $Spitzer$ and ground-based KMTNet microlensing observations to identify and precisely measure an Earth-mass ($1.43^{+0.45}_{-0.32} M_\oplus$) planet OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb at $1.16^{+0.16}_{-0.13}$ AU orbiting a $0.078^{+0.016}_{-0.012} M_\odot$ ultracool dwarf. This is the lowest-mass microlensing planet to date. At $3.91^{+0.42}_{-0.46}$ kpc, it is the third consecutive case among the $Spitzer$ "Galactic distribution" planets toward the Galactic bulge that lies in the Galactic disk as opposed to the bulge itself, hinting at a skewed distribution of planets. Together with previous microlensing discoveries, the seven Earth-size planets orbiting the ultracool dwarf TRAPPIST-1, and the detection of disks around young brown dwarfs, OGLE-2016-BLG-1195Lb suggests that such planets might be common around ultracool dwarfs. It therefore sheds light on the formation of both ultracool dwarfs and planetary systems at the limit of low-mass protoplanetary disks.
