用K2搜索球状星团M4中的凌日行星:候选行星和出现极限

A Search for Transiting Planets in the Globular Cluster M4 with K2: Candidates and Occurrence Limits

Joshua J. Wallace, Joel D. Hartman, Gaspar A. Bakos

摘要:

我们在NASA K2观测的球状星团(GC)M4中搜索凌日行星。与以往任何GC行星搜索相比,这次搜索对较大的轨道周期(与之前最好的$P\lesssim 16$天相比,$P\lesssim 35$天)和最短的周期,较小的行星半径(与之前最好的R $_p\gtrsim0.8$ R $_J$相比,R $_p\gtrsim0.3$ R $_J$)都很敏感。七颗候选行星被提出。对我们数据中的系统噪声的分析表明,这些候选者中的大多数(如果不是全部的话)可能是假警报。我们计算行星发生率,假设我们的最高显着性候选是一个行星和发生率上限假设没有检测。我们计算了3颗周期为1-36天的0.71-2 R $_J$行星的$σ$出现率上限为6.1%,周期为1-10天的0.36-0.71 R $_J$行星的$σ$出现率上限为16%.开普勒、TESS和RV对场星的研究的出现率与我们的数据中未探测到行星和探测到单个热木星的情况一致。与以前的GC研究相比,我们无法对Gilliland等人2000的半径周期范围进行更严格的限制,但对Weldrake等人2008和Nascimbeni等人2012的大半径区域进行更严格的限制。

英文摘要:

We perform a search for transiting planets in the NASA K2 observations of the globular cluster (GC) M4. This search is sensitive to larger orbital periods ($P\lesssim 35$ days, compared to the previous best of $P\lesssim 16$ days) and, at the shortest periods, smaller planet radii (R$_p\gtrsim0.3$ R$_J$, compared to the previous best of R$_p\gtrsim0.8$ R$_J$) than any previous search for GC planets. Seven planet candidates are presented. An analysis of the systematic noise in our data shows that most, if not all, of these candidates are likely false alarms. We calculate planet occurrence rates assuming our highest significance candidate is a planet and occurrence rate upper limits assuming no detections. We calculate 3$σ$ occurrence rate upper limits of 6.1\% for 0.71-2 R$_J$ planets with 1-36 day periods and 16\% for 0.36-0.71 R$_J$ planets with 1-10 day periods. The occurrence rates from Kepler, TESS, and RV studies of field stars are consistent with both a non-detection of a planet and detection of a single hot Jupiter in our data. Comparing to previous studies of GCs, we are unable to place a more stringent constraint than Gilliland et al. 2000 for the radius-period range they were sensitive to, but do place tighter constraints than both Weldrake et al. 2008 and Nascimbeni et al. 2012 for the large-radius regimes to which they were sensitive.
