Abstract

We used the CHARA Array to directly measure the angular diameter of HD 69830, home to three Neptune mass planets and an asteroid belt. Our measurement of 0.674 ± 0.014 mas for the limb-darkened angular diameter of this star leads to a physical radius of R {sub *} = 0.9058 ± 0.0190 R {sub ☉} and luminosity of L {sub *} = 0.622 ± 0.014 L {sub ☉} when combined with a fit to the spectral energy distribution of the star. Placing these observed values on an Hertzsprung-Russel diagram along with stellar evolution isochrones produces an age of 10.6 ± 4 Gyr and mass of 0.863 ± 0.043 M {sub ☉}. We use archival optical echelle spectra of HD 69830 along with an iterative spectral fitting technique to measure the iron abundance ([Fe/H] = –0.04 ± 0.03), effective temperature (5385 ± 44 K), and surface gravity (log g = 4.49 ± 0.06). We use these new values for the temperature and luminosity to calculate a more precise age of 7.5 ± 3 Gyr. Applying the values of stellar luminosity and radius to recent models on the optimistic location of the habitable zone produces a range of 0.61-1.44 AU; partially outside the orbit of the furthest known planet (d) around HD 69830. Finally, we estimate the snow line at a distance of 1.95 ± 0.19 AU,more »« less

MULTI-EPOCH OBSERVATIONS OF HD 69830: HIGH-RESOLUTION SPECTROSCOPY AND LIMITS TO VARIABILITY

Journal Article Beichman, C; Tanner, A; Bryden, G; ... - Astrophysical Journal

The main-sequence solar-type star HD 69830 has an unusually large amount of dusty debris orbiting close to three planets found via the radial velocity technique. In order to explore the dynamical interaction between the dust and planets, we have performed multi-epoch photometry and spectroscopy of the system over several orbits of the outer dust. We find no evidence for changes in either the dust amount or its composition, with upper limits of 5%-7% (1{sigma} per spectral element) on the variability of the dust spectrum over 1 year, 3.3% (1{sigma}) on the broadband disk emission over 4 years, and 33% (1{sigma})more »« less

PLANETS AND DEBRIS DISKS: RESULTS FROM A SPITZER/MIPS SEARCH FOR INFRARED EXCESS

Journal Article Bryden, G; Stapelfeldt, K; Werner, M; ... - Astrophysical Journal

Using the MIPS camera on the Spitzer Space Telescope, we have searched for debris disks around 104 stars known from radial velocity studies to have one or more planets. Combining this new data with 42 already published observations of planet-bearing stars, we find that 14 of the 146 systems have IR excess at 24 and/or 70 mum. Only one star, HD 69830, has IR excess exclusively at 24 mum, indicative of warm dust in the inner system analogous to that produced by collisions in the solar system's asteroid belt. For the other 13 stars with IR excess the emission ismore »« less

THE CHARA ARRAY ANGULAR DIAMETER OF HR 8799 FAVORS PLANETARY MASSES FOR ITS IMAGED COMPANIONS

Journal Article Baines, Ellyn; White, Russel; Jones, Jeremy; ... - Astrophysical Journal

HR 8799 is an hF0 mA5 {gamma} Doradus-, {lambda} Bootis-, Vega-type star best known for hosting four directly imaged candidate planetary companions. Using the CHARA Array interferometer, we measure HR 8799's limb-darkened angular diameter to be 0.342 {+-} 0.008 mas (an error of only 2%). By combining our measurement with the star's parallax and photometry from the literature, we greatly improve upon previous estimates of its fundamental parameters, including stellar radius (1.44 {+-} 0.06 R{sub Sun }), effective temperature (7193 {+-} 87 K, consistent with F0), luminosity (5.05 {+-} 0.29 L{sub Sun }), and the extent of the habitable zonemore »« less

The physical parameters of the retired a star HD 185351

Journal Article Johnson, John; Huber, Daniel; Barclay, Thomas; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We report here an analysis of the physical stellar parameters of the giant star HD 185351 using Kepler short-cadence photometry, optical and near infrared interferometry from CHARA, and high-resolution spectroscopy. Asteroseismic oscillations detected in the Kepler short-cadence photometry combined with an effective temperature calculated from the interferometric angular diameter and bolometric flux yield a mean density ρ{sub *} = 0.0130 ± 0.0003 ρ{sub ☉} and surface gravity log g = 3.280 ± 0.011. Combining the gravity and density we find R {sub *} = 5.35 ± 0.20 R {sub ☉} and M {sub *} = 1.99 ± 0.23 M {submore »« less

Confirmation and characterization of the protoplanet HD 100546 b—Direct evidence for gas giant planet formation at 50 AU

Journal Article Quanz, Sascha; Amara, Adam; Meyer, Michael; ... - Astrophysical Journal

We present the first multi-wavelength, high-contrast imaging study confirming the protoplanet embedded in the disk around the Herbig Ae/Be star HD 100546. The object is detected at L′ (∼3.8 μm) and M′ (∼4.8 μm), but not at K{sub s} (∼2.1 μm), and the emission consists of a point source component surrounded by spatially resolved emission. For the point source component we derive apparent magnitudes of L′=13.92±0.10 mag, M′=13.33±0.16 mag, and K{sub s}>15.43±0.06 mag (3σ limit), and a separation and position angle of (0.457±0.014){sup ′′} and (8.4±1.4){sup ∘}, and (0.472±0.014){sup ′′} and (9.2±1.4){sup ∘} in L′ and M′, respectively.
