摘要:

AU Mic是一个年轻的行星系,有一个清晰的碎片盘,显示出行星形成的迹象,还有两个在平均运动共振附近过境的温暖海王星。在这里,我们分析了三个过渡的AU Mic b观察到的特征ExOPlanet卫星(CHEOPS),补充部门1和27过境系外行星调查卫星(TESS)测光,和全天空自动调查(ASAS)从地面。Mic b的精确轨道周期为8.462995 \pm 0.000003 d,而恒星自转周期为P_{rot} =4.8367 \pm 0.0006 d。这两个周期表示7:4的自旋-轨道可互换性,精度为0.1%。因此,所有的凌日都是在四个可能的恒星中央星团之一的前面观测到的。这得到了强烈的支持,在第二次和第三次CHEOPS访问中看到了相同的复杂的星斑图案,它们被四个轨道(和七个恒星旋转)分开。使用自举分析,我们发现,耀斑和星斑的过境参数的精度降低了10%的行星与恒星的半径比和过境时间的精度3-4分钟。然而,被遮蔽的恒星黑子特征独立地证实了凌日时间变化(TTV)的存在,其幅度至少为4分钟。我们发现外伴星AU Mic c可能是引起观测到的TTV的原因。

英文摘要:

AU Mic is a young planetary system with a resolved debris disc showing signs of planet formation and two transiting warm Neptunes near mean-motion resonances. Here we analyse three transits of AU Mic b observed with the CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS), supplemented with sector 1 and 27 Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry, and the All-Sky Automated Survey (ASAS) from the ground. The refined orbital period of AU Mic b is 8.462995 \pm 0.000003 d, whereas the stellar rotational period is P_{rot}=4.8367 \pm 0.0006 d. The two periods indicate a 7:4 spin--orbit commensurability at a precision of 0.1%. Therefore, all transits are observed in front of one of the four possible stellar central longitudes. This is strongly supported by the observation that the same complex star-spot pattern is seen in the second and third CHEOPS visits that were separated by four orbits (and seven stellar rotations). Using a bootstrap analysis we find that flares and star spots reduce the accuracy of transit parameters by up to 10% in the planet-to-star radius ratio and the accuracy on transit time by 3-4 minutes. Nevertheless, occulted stellar spot features independently confirm the presence of transit timing variations (TTVs) with an amplitude of at least 4 minutes. We find that the outer companion, AU Mic c may cause the observed TTVs.
