摘要:

Dharma Planet Survey(DPS)的目标是在2016年$-$ 2020期间,使用TOU甚高分辨率光谱仪(R $\approx$ 100,000,380- 900 nm)监测大约150个附近非常明亮的FGKM矮星(50 pc以内),以进行低质量行星的探测和表征。TOU最初于2013年至2015年安装在费尔伯恩天文台的2米自动光谱望远镜上进行试点调查,然后转移到Mt上专用的50英寸自动望远镜。莱蒙在2016年启动了这项调查。在这里,我们报告了DPS的第一颗行星探测,DPS是一颗围绕明亮的K矮星HD 26965运行的超级地球候选者。它是天空中第二亮的恒星($V=4.4$ mag),是超级地球的候选者。候选行星的质量为8.47 $\pm0.47M_{\rm Earth}$,周期为$42.38\pm0.01$ d,偏心率为$0.04^{+0.05}_{-0.03}$。这个RV信号是由Diaz等人(2018)独立检测到的,但他们无法确认信号是来自行星还是来自恒星活动。这颗行星的轨道周期接近恒星的自转周期(39 $-$ 44.5 d),这是从恒星活动指标测量的。我们对这颗恒星的高精度测光活动和线平分线分析没有发现轨道周期的任何显着变化。从星点和对流抑制模拟的恒星RV抖动也不足以解释检测到的RV信号。在进一步比较了来自恒星活跃磁相和平静磁相的RV数据后,我们得出结论,RV信号是由于行星反射运动而不是恒星活动。

英文摘要:

The Dharma Planet Survey (DPS) aims to monitor about 150 nearby very bright FGKM dwarfs (within 50 pc) during 2016$-$2020 for low-mass planet detection and characterization using the TOU very high resolution optical spectrograph (R$\approx$100,000, 380-900nm). TOU was initially mounted to the 2-m Automatic Spectroscopic Telescope at Fairborn Observatory in 2013-2015 to conduct a pilot survey, then moved to the dedicated 50-inch automatic telescope on Mt. Lemmon in 2016 to launch the survey. Here we report the first planet detection from DPS, a super-Earth candidate orbiting a bright K dwarf star, HD 26965. It is the second brightest star ($V=4.4$ mag) on the sky with a super-Earth candidate. The planet candidate has a mass of 8.47$\pm0.47M_{\rm Earth}$, period of $42.38\pm0.01$ d, and eccentricity of $0.04^{+0.05}_{-0.03}$. This RV signal was independently detected by Diaz et al. (2018), but they could not confirm if the signal is from a planet or from stellar activity. The orbital period of the planet is close to the rotation period of the star (39$-$44.5 d) measured from stellar activity indicators. Our high precision photometric campaign and line bisector analysis of this star do not find any significant variations at the orbital period. Stellar RV jitters modeled from star spots and convection inhibition are also not strong enough to explain the RV signal detected. After further comparing RV data from the star's active magnetic phase and quiet magnetic phase, we conclude that the RV signal is due to planetary-reflex motion and not stellar activity.
