摘要:

K2和TESS等天基凌日观测可以探测轨道周期超过10天的小型凌日行星。这些温暖的海王星中,目前很少有已知的恒星周围足够明亮,可以进行详细的后续观测,致力于其大气特征。周期为21天,周期为3.95 $R_\oplus$的行星HD 106315 c是根据K2对它的两次凌日观测发现的。我们用1.2米欧拉望远镜和EulerCam相机对HD 106315进行了两次观测,用宽波段测光法确认了凌日,并对行星周期进行了修正。基于对HD 106315 c的两次凌日观测,我们探测到了它的$\sim$ 1 mmag凌日,并获得了精确的行星星历,这对计划进一步的后续观测至关重要。我们已经使用所获得的精度以及TESS任务的预测产量来评估TESS发现的海王星大小行星的地面确认潜力。我们发现,地面上配备有精确光度计的1米级望远镜可以大大有助于跟踪162个TESS候选恒星,其星等为$V \leq 14$。其中,74颗行星绕着带有$V \leq 12$的恒星运行,12颗行星绕着$V \leq 10$运行,这使得这些候选天体成为用高端仪器进行大气特征鉴定的高度优先对象。

英文摘要:

Space-based transit surveys such as K2 and TESS allow the detection of small transiting planets with orbital periods beyond 10 days. Few of these warm Neptunes are currently known around stars bright enough to allow for detailed follow-up observations dedicated to their atmospheric characterization. The 21-day period and 3.95 $R_\oplus$ planet HD106315c has been discovered based on the observation of two of its transits by K2. We have observed HD106315 using the 1.2m Euler telescope equipped with the EulerCam camera on two instances to confirm the transit using broad band photometry and refine the planetary period. Based on two observed transits of HD106315c, we detect its $\sim$1 mmag transit and obtain a precise measurement of the planetary ephemerids, which are critical for planning further follow-up observations. We have used the attained precision together with the predicted yield from the TESS mission to evaluate the potential for ground-based confirmation of Neptune-sized planets found by TESS. We find that 1-meter-class telescopes on the ground equipped with precise photometers could substantially contribute to the follow-up of 162 TESS candidates orbiting stars with magnitudes of $V \leq 14$. Out of these, 74 planets orbit stars with $V \leq 12$ and 12 planets orbit $V \leq 10$, which makes these candidates high-priority objects for atmospheric characterization with high-end instrumentation.
