摘要:

围绕前主序星运行的系外行星是研究行星演化过程的实验室,包括大气损失、轨道迁移和辐射冷却。V1298 Tau是一个年轻的太阳类似物,年龄为23 $\pm$ 400万年,就是这样一个实验室。这颗恒星已经知道在24天的轨道上有一颗彗星大小的行星。在这里,我们报告了三个额外的行星的发现-所有的海王星和土星之间的大小-基于我们对K2战役4测光的分析。行星c和d的大小分别为5.6和6.4 $R_\oplus$,轨道周期分别为8.25和12.40天,位于标称3:2平均运动共振之外0.25%。行星e的大小是8.7 $R_\oplus$,但在K2时间序列中只经过一次,因此周期长于36天,但可能短于223天。V1298 Tau系统可能是开普勒任务发现的紧凑多行星系统的前身。然而,大行星的大小与绝大多数开普勒多星形成鲜明对比,开普勒多星的行星小于3 $R_\oplus$。简单的动力学参数表明,$<$ 28 $M_\oplus$和$<$ 120 $M_\oplus$分别是c-d和d-b行星对的总质量。这意味着低质量的行星可能仍然在辐射冷却和收缩,并可能失去大气。V1298 Tau系统为进一步的后续行动提供了丰富的前景,包括通过透射或日食光谱学进行大气表征,通过过境时间变化进行动力学表征,以及通过径向速度测量行星质量和质量。

英文摘要:

Exoplanets orbiting pre-main sequence stars are laboratories for studying planet evolution processes, including atmospheric loss, orbital migration, and radiative cooling. V1298 Tau, a young solar analog with an age of 23 $\pm$ 4 Myr, is one such laboratory. The star is already known to host a Jupiter-sized planet on a 24 day orbit. Here, we report the discovery of three additional planets --- all between the size of Neptune and Saturn --- based on our analysis of K2 Campaign 4 photometry. Planets c and d have sizes of 5.6 and 6.4 $R_\oplus$, respectively and with orbital periods of 8.25 and 12.40 days reside 0.25% outside of the nominal 3:2 mean-motion resonance. Planet e is 8.7 $R_\oplus$ in size but only transited once in the K2 time series and thus has a period longer than 36 days, but likely shorter than 223 days. The V1298 Tau system may be a precursor to the compact multiplanet systems found to be common by the Kepler mission. However, the large planet sizes stand in sharp contrast to the vast majority of Kepler multis which have planets smaller than 3 $R_\oplus$. Simple dynamical arguments suggest total masses of $<$28 $M_\oplus$ and $<$120 $M_\oplus$ for the c-d and d-b planet pairs, respectively. The implied low masses suggest that the planets may still be radiatively cooling and contracting, and perhaps losing atmosphere. The V1298 Tau system offers rich prospects for further follow-up including atmospheric characterization by transmission or eclipse spectroscopy, dynamical characterization through transit-timing variations, and measurements of planet masses and obliquities by radial velocities.
