چکیده
Precision Doppler measurements from the Keck High-Resolution Echelle Spectrograph reveal periodic Keplerian velocity variations in the stars HD 16141 and HD 46375. HD 16141 (G5 IV) has a period of 75.8 days and a velocity amplitude of 11 m s-1, yielding a companion having Msini=0.22 M(JUP) and a semimajor axis of a=0.35 AU. HD 46375 (K1 IV-V) has a period of 3.024 days and a velocity amplitude of 35 m s-1, yielding a companion with Msini=0.25 M(JUP), a semimajor axis of a=0.041 AU, and an eccentricity of 0.04 (consistent with zero). These companions contribute to the rising planet mass function toward lower masses.

Search for Transits of a Short-Period, Sub-Saturn Extrasolar Planet Orbiting HD 46375.
Precise brightness measurements of HD 46375 have been acquired with an automatic telescope to search for transits of its short-period, sub-Saturn extrasolar planet. Transits of the companion do not occur, indicating that the inclination of the orbit i is less than 83 degrees and sini is less than 0.992. This upper limit on sini still preserves the possibility that the mass of the planet is less...
متن کاملPredicting Planets in Known Extra-Solar Planetary Systems III: Forming Terrestrial Planets
Recent results have shown that many of the known extrasolar planetary systems contain regions which are stable for both Earth-mass and Saturn-mass planets. Here we simulate the formation of terrestrial planets in four planetary systems – 55 Cancri, HD 38529, HD 37124, and HD 74156 – under the assumption that these systems of giant planets are complete and that their orbits are well-determined. ...

We present the discovery of two Saturn-mass companions to HD 108147 and HD 168746. Both belong to the lightest ever discovered planets. The minimum mass of the companion to HD 168746 is of only 0.77 the mass of Saturn and its orbital period is 6.4 days. The companion to HD 108147 orbits its parent star in 10.9 days and its minimum mass is 1.37 that of Saturn. Its orbit is characterized by a hig...
متن کاملThe Successful Prediction of the Extrasolar Planet HD 74156 d
Most of the first-discovered extrasolar multi-planet systems were found to lie close to dynamically unstable configurations. However a few observed multiplanet systems (e.g. HD 74156) did not show this trait. Those systems could share this property if they contain an additional planet in between those that are known. Previous investigations identified the properties of hypothetical planets that...
متن کاملDynamical Stability of Terrestrial and Giant Planets in the HD 155358 Planetary System
The results of a study of the dynamical evolution and the habitability of the planetary system of HD 155358 are presented. This system is unique in that it is one of the two low metallicity stars discovered to host a multiple planet system. HD 155358 is host to two Jupiter-sized planets, with minimum masses of 0.86 and 0.50 Jupiter-masses. The orbit of the lower mass planet of this system is lo...
