摘要:

我们报告了来自NASA TESS任务的11颗新凌星褐矮星和低质量M型矮星的发现:TOI-2844、TOI-3122、TOI-3577、TOI-3755、TOI-4462、TOI-4635、TOI-4737、TOI-4759、TOI-5240、TOI-5467和TOI-5882。它们由5个褐矮星伴星和6个极低质量恒星伴星组成,质量范围从25 $M_{\ m J}$到128 $M_{\ m J}$。我们结合了光度时间序列、光谱和高分辨率成像后续观测,作为TESS后续观测计划(TFOP)的一部分,以表征每个系统。随着已确认的凌星褐矮星超过50颗,我们现在有足够大的样本来直接检验不同的形成和演化情景。我们对凌星褐矮星沙漠提供了新的视角,及其在区分行星和恒星形成机制中的作用。我们对凌星褐矮星样本的偏心率分布的分析不支持先前关于在约42 $M_{\ m J}$处存在行星和恒星形成之间转变的说法。我们还首次研究了7至150 $M_{\ m J}$范围内凌星伴星的金属丰度分布,表明这也不支持约42 $M_{\ m J}$的转变。最后,我们在其中一个褐矮星宿主(TOI-5882)中检测到显著的锂吸收特征,但根据自转、运动学和光度测量确定该宿主星可能较老。因此,我们声称TOI-5882可能是行星吞噬的候选体。

英文摘要:

We present the discovery of 11 new transiting brown dwarfs and low-mass M-dwarfs from NASA's TESS mission: TOI-2844, TOI-3122, TOI-3577, TOI-3755, TOI-4462, TOI-4635, TOI-4737, TOI-4759, TOI-5240, TOI-5467, and TOI-5882. They consist of 5 brown dwarf companions and 6 very low mass stellar companions ranging in mass from $25 M_{\rm J}$ to $128 M_{\rm J}$. We used a combination of photometric time-series, spectroscopic, and high resolution imaging follow-up as a part of the TESS Follow-up Observing Program (TFOP) in order to characterize each system. With over 50 transiting brown dwarfs confirmed, we now have a large enough sample to directly test different formation and evolutionary scenarios. We provide a renewed perspective on the transiting brown dwarf desert and its role in differentiating between planetary and stellar formation mechanisms. Our analysis of the eccentricity distribution for the transiting brown dwarf sample does not support previous claims of a transition between planetary and stellar formation at $\sim42$ $M_{\rm J}$. We also contribute a first look into the metallicity distribution of transiting companions in the range $7 - 150$ $M_{\rm J}$, showing that this too does not support a $\sim42$ $M_{\rm J}$ transition. Finally, we also detect a significant lithium absorption feature in one of the brown dwarf hosts (TOI-5882) but determine that the host star is likely old based on rotation, kinematic, and photometric measurements. We therefore claim that TOI-5882 may be a candidate for planetary engulfment.
