TIC-320687387 B: a long-period eclipsing M-dwarf close to the hydrogen burning limit
MONTHLY NOTICES OF THE ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY(2022)
摘要
We are using precise radial velocities from CORALIE together with precision photometry from the Next Generation Transit Survey (NGTS) to follow-up stars with single-transit events detected with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). As part of this survey, we identified a single transit on the star TIC-320687387, a bright (T = 11.6) G-dwarf observed by TESS in Sectors 13 and 27. From subsequent monitoring of TIC-320687387 with CORALIE NGTS, and Lesedi we determined that the companion, TIC-320687387 B, is a very low-mass star with a mass of 96.2 +/-(1.9)(2.)(0) M-J and radius of 1.14 +/- R-0.02( )0.02(J) placing it close to the hydrogen burning limit (similar to 80 M-J). TIC-320687387 B is tidally decoupled and has an eccentric orbit, with a period of 29.77381 d and an eccentricity of 0.366 +/- 0.003. Eclipsing systems such as TIC-320687387 AB allow us to test stellar evolution models for low-mass stars, which in turn are needed to calculate accurate masses and radii for exoplanets orbiting single low-mass stars. The sizeable orbital period of TIC-320687387 B makes it particularly valuable as its evolution can be assumed to be free from perturbations caused by tidal interactions with its G-type host star.
