摘要:

我们报告了TOI 813 b(TIC 55525572 b)的发现和验证,这是一颗由公民科学家在NASA凌日系外行星调查卫星(TESS)的数据中发现的凌日系外行星,也是行星猎人TESS项目发现的第一颗行星。主星是一颗明亮的(V = 10.3等)次巨星($R_\star=1.94\,R_\odot$,$M_\star=1.32\,M_\odot$)。TESS在其运行的第一年几乎连续观察到它,在此期间检测到四个单独的过境事件。候选人通过了所有标准的基于光曲线的审查检查,地面跟踪光谱学和斑点成像使我们能够将$2 M_{Jup}$(99%置信度)的上限置于伴星的质量上,并从统计学上验证其行星性质。详细的凌日模型得出周期为$83.8911_{ - 0.0031 } ^ { + 0.0027 }$天,行星半径为$6.71 \pm 0.38$ $R_{\oplus}$,半长轴为$0.423_{ - 0.037 } ^ { + 0.031 }$ AU。这颗行星的轨道周期加上主星的演化性质,使它处于一个相对未被探索的参数空间区域。我们估计,TOI-813 b诱导反射运动在其宿主恒星的半振幅为$\sim6$ ms $^{-1}$,使该系统成为一个有前途的目标,以测量一个相对较长的周期过境行星的质量。

英文摘要:

We report on the discovery and validation of TOI 813b (TIC 55525572 b), a transiting exoplanet identified by citizen scientists in data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the first planet discovered by the Planet Hunters TESS project. The host star is a bright (V = 10.3 mag) subgiant ($R_\star=1.94\,R_\odot$, $M_\star=1.32\,M_\odot$). It was observed almost continuously by TESS during its first year of operations, during which time four individual transit events were detected. The candidate passed all the standard light curve-based vetting checks, and ground-based follow-up spectroscopy and speckle imaging enabled us to place an upper limit of $2 M_{Jup}$ (99 % confidence) on the mass of the companion, and to statistically validate its planetary nature. Detailed modelling of the transits yields a period of $83.8911_{ - 0.0031 } ^ { + 0.0027 }$ days, a planet radius of $6.71 \pm 0.38$ $R_{\oplus}$, and a semi major axis of $0.423_{ - 0.037 } ^ { + 0.031 }$ AU. The planet's orbital period combined with the evolved nature of the host star places this object in a relatively under-explored region of parameter space. We estimate that TOI-813b induces a reflex motion in its host star with a semi-amplitude of $\sim6$ ms$^{-1}$, making this system a promising target to measure the mass of a relatively long-period transiting planet.
