太阳系外行星和棕矮星候选者的依巴谷观测分析

Analysis of the Hipparcos Observations of the Extrasolar Planets and the Brown-Dwarf Candidates

Shay Zucker, Tsevi Mazeh

摘要:

我们分析了依巴谷天文测量观测的47颗恒星,这些恒星被发现拥有巨大的行星和14颗恒星的棕矮星二级候选者。依巴谷卫星的测量结果与相应的恒星径向速度数据一起用于推导每个系统的天体测量轨道。为了找出推导出的天体测量轨道的意义,我们应用了一种“置换”技术,通过这种技术,我们分析了置换后的依巴谷数据,以获得假轨道。这些假轨道的大小分布表明了从真实数据中可能得出的随机假轨道的范围。这些测试没有发现任何天体测量轨道的行星候选人的显着性高于99%,这表明大多数,如果不是所有的轨道是不真实的。相反,我们使用依巴谷的数据来设定候选行星质量的上限。最低的上限是47 UMa- 0.014太阳质量,这证实了它的行星性质。对于其他13颗行星候选者来说,上限排除了它们同伴的恒星性质,尽管棕矮星仍然是一种选择。这否定了所有或大部分太阳系外行星都是伪装的恒星伴星的观点。在14颗褐矮星候选者中,我们的分析重现了Halbwachs等人的结果,他导出了6个系统的重要天体测量轨道,这些轨道意味着恒星质量的秒数。我们发现,另一颗恒星,HD 164427,这是最近才发现的,也有一个与恒星质量的次级。我们的发现支持了Halbwachs等人关于可能存在“棕矮星沙漠”的结论,棕矮星沙漠将行星和恒星分隔开。

英文摘要:

We analyzed the Hipparcos astrometric observations of 47 stars that were discovered to harbor giant planets and 14 stars with brown-dwarf secondary candidates. The Hipparcos measurements were used together with the corresponding stellar radial-velocity data to derive an astrometric orbit for each system. To find out the significance of the derived astrometric orbits we applied a "permutation" technique by which we analyzed the permuted Hipparcos data to get false orbits. The size distribution of these false orbits indicated the range of possibly random, false orbits that could be derived from the true data. These tests could not find any astrometric orbit of the planet candidates with significance higher than 99%, suggesting that most if not all orbits are not real. Instead, we used the Hipparcos data to set upper limits on the masses of the planet candidates. The lowest derived upper limit is that of 47UMa - 0.014 solar mass, which confirms the planetary nature of its unseen companion. For 13 other planet candidates the upper limits exclude the stellar nature of their companions, although brown-dwarf secondaries are still an option. These negate the idea that all or most of the extrasolar planets are disguised stellar secondaries. Of the 14 brown-dwarf candidates, our analysis reproduced the results of Halbwachs et al., who derived significant astrometric orbits for 6 systems which imply secondaries with stellar masses. We show that another star, HD164427, which was discovered only very recently, also has a secondary with stellar mass. Our findings support Halbwachs et al. conclusion about the possible existence of the "brown-dwarf desert" which separates the planets and the stellar secondaries.
