Issue Date: | 2019 | Journal: | MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY | Number: | 482 | Issue: | 2 | First Page: | 1807 | Abstract: | We report the independent discovery and characterization of two K2 planets: K2-180b, a mini-Neptune-sized planet in an 8.9-d orbit transiting a V = 12.6 mag, metal-poor ([Fe/H] = -0.65 ± 0.10) K2V star in K2 campaign 5; K2-140b, a transiting hot Jupiter in a 6.6-d orbit around a V = 12.6 mag G6V ([Fe/H] = + 0.10 ± 0.10) star in K2 campaign 10. Our results are based on K2 time-series photometry combined with high-spatial resolution imaging and high-precision radial velocity measurements. We present the first mass measurement of K2-180b. K2-180b has a mass of M<SUB>p</SUB> = 11.3 ± 1.9 M_{\oplus} and a radius of R<SUB>p</SUB> = 2.2 ± 0.1 R_{\oplus}, yielding a mean density of ρ<SUB>p</SUB> = 5.6 ± 1.9 g cm<SUP>-3</SUP>, suggesting a rocky composition. Given its radius, K2-180b is above the region of the so-called `planetary radius gap'. K2-180b is in addition not only one of the densest mini-Neptune-sized planets, but also one of the few mini-Neptune-sized planets known to transit a metal-poor star. We also constrain the planetary and orbital parameters of K2-140b and show that, given the currently available Doppler measurements, the eccentricity is consistent with zero, contrary to the results of a previous study. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29418 | URL: | https://openaccess.inaf.it/retrieve/22416/sty2760.pdf | ISSN: | 0035-8711 | DOI: | 10.1093/mnras/sty2760 | Bibcode ADS: | 2019MNRAS.482.1807K | Fulltext: | open |
