Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Number: | 464 | Issue: | 3 | First Page: | 2708 | Abstract: | We report the discovery from K2 of a transiting planet in an 18.25-d, eccentric (0.19 ± 0.04) orbit around K2-99, an 11th magnitude subgiant in Virgo. We confirm the planetary nature of the companion with radial velocities, and determine that the star is a metal-rich ([Fe/H] = 0.20 ± 0.05) subgiant, with mass 1.60^{+0.14}_{-0.10} M<SUB>☉</SUB> and radius 3.1 ± 0.1 R<SUB>☉</SUB>. The planet has a mass of 0.97 ± 0.09 M<SUB>Jup</SUB> and a radius 1.29 ± 0.05 R<SUB>Jup</SUB>. A measured systemic radial acceleration of -2.12 ± 0.04 ms<SUP>-1</SUP> d<SUP>-1</SUP> offers compelling evidence for the existence of a third body in the system, perhaps a brown dwarf orbiting with a period of several hundred days. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28032 | URL: | https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/464/3/2708/2447921 | ISSN: | 0035-8711 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnras/stw2487 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017MNRAS.464.2708S | Fulltext: | open |
