HD 80606 b , a planet on an extremely elongated orbit ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
We report the detection of a planetary companion orbiting the solar-type star HD80606, the brighter component of a wide binary with a projected separation of about 2000 AU. Using high-signal spectroscopic observations of the two components of the visual binary, we show that they are nearly identical. The planet has an orbital period of 111.8 days and a minimum mass of 3.9 MJup. With e =0.927, this planet has the highest orbital eccentricity among the extrasolar planets detected so far. We finally list several processes this extreme eccentricity could result from.

Detection of a transit by the planetary companion of HD 80606 Stephen
We report the detection of a transit egress by the ∼ 3.9-Jupiter-mass planet HD 80606b, an object in a highly-eccentric orbit (e ∼ 0.93) about its parent star of approximately solar type. The astrophysical reality of the signal of variability in HD 80606 is confirmed by observation with two independent telescope systems, and checks against several reference stars in the field. Differential phot...
متن کاملTHE TRANSIT INGRESS AND THE TILTED ORBIT OF THE EXTRAORDINARILY ECCENTRIC EXOPLANET HD 80606b
We present the results of a transcontinental campaign to observe the 2009 June 5 transit of the exoplanet HD 80606b. We report the first detection of the transit ingress, revealing the transit duration to be 11.64± 0.25 hr and allowing more robust determinations of the system parameters. Keck spectra obtained at midtransit exhibit an anomalous blueshift, giving definitive evidence that the stel...
متن کاملDynamical and Observational Constraints on Additional Planets in Highly Eccentric Planetary Systems
Long time coverage and high radial velocity precision have allowed for the discovery of additional objects in known planetary systems. Many of the extrasolar planets detected have highly eccentric orbits, which raises the question of how likely those systems are to host additional planets. We investigate six systems which contain a very eccentric (e > 0.6) planet: HD 3651, HD 37605, HD 45350, H...
متن کاملThe N2k Consortium. Vi. Doppler Shifts without Templates and Three New Short-period Planets
We present a modification to the iodine cell Doppler technique that eliminates the need for an observed stellar template spectrum. For a given target star, we iterate toward a synthetic template spectrum beginning with an existing template of a similar star. We then perturb the shape of this first-guess template to match the program observation of the target star taken through an iodine cell. T...
متن کاملFive New Multicomponent Planetary Systems
We report Doppler measurements for six nearby Gand K-type main-sequence stars that showmultiple low-mass companions, at least one of which has planetary mass. One system has three planets, the fourth triple-planet system known around a normal star, and another has an extremely low minimum mass of 18 M . HD 128311 (K0 V) has two planets (one previously known) with minimum masses (M sin i) of 2.1...
