Data pubblicazione: | 2016 | Rivista: | THE ASTRONOMICAL JOURNAL | Numero: | 152 | Fascicolo: | 6 | Da pagina:: | 165 | Abstract: | While the vast majority of multiple-planet systems have orbital angular momentum axes that align with the spin axis of their host star, Kepler-56 is an exception: its two transiting planets are coplanar yet misaligned by at least 40° with respect to the rotation axis of their host star. Additional follow-up observations of Kepler-56 suggest the presence of a massive, non-transiting companion that may help explain this misalignment. We model the transit data along with Keck/HIRES and HARPS-N radial velocity data to update the masses of the two transiting planets and infer the physical properties of the third, non-transiting planet. We employ a Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler to calculate the best-fitting orbital parameters and their uncertainties for each planet. We find the outer planet has a period of 1002 ± 5 days and minimum mass of 5.61 ± 0.38 {M}<SUB>{Jup</SUB>}. We also place a 95% upper limit of 0.80 m s<SUP>-1</SUP> yr<SUP>-1</SUP> on long-term trends caused by additional, more distant companions. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/29612 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/0004-6256/152/6/165 | ISSN: | 0004-6256 | DOI: | 10.3847/0004-6256/152/6/165 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016AJ....152..165O | Fulltext: | open |
