Binary star system in the constellation Eridanus
Gliese 86 (13 G. Eridani, HD 13445) is aK-type main-sequence star approximately 35light-years away in theconstellation ofEridanus . It has been confirmed that awhite dwarf orbits the primary star. In 1998 theEuropean Southern Observatory announced that anextrasolar planet was orbiting the star.[ 12]
The primary companion (Gliese 86 A) is a K-type main-sequencestar ofspectral type K1V. The characteristics in comparison to theSun are 83% the mass, 79% the radius, and 50% the luminosity. The star has a close-orbiting massiveJovian planet .
Gliese 86 B is awhite dwarf located around 21 AU from the primary star, making the Gliese 86 system one of the tightest binaries known to host an extrasolar planet.[ 13] It was discovered in 2001 and initially suspected to be abrown dwarf ,[ 14] but high contrast observations in 2005 suggested that the object is probably a white dwarf, as its spectrum does not exhibit molecular absorption features which are typical of brown dwarfs.[ 15] Assuming the white dwarf has a mass about half that of the Sun and that the linear trend observed in radial velocity measurements is due to Gliese 86 B, a plausible orbit for this star around Gliese 86 A has asemimajor axis of 18.42 AU and aneccentricity of 0.3974.[ 16] When both stars were on the main sequence, the separation between the two stars was closer, at around 9 AU.[ 4] More precise measurements for the white dwarf give it a mass of 55% the mass of the Sun[ 4] and a temperature of around 8200 K.[ 9]
The planet Gliese 86 b was discovered by the Swiss 1.2 mLeonhard Euler Telescope operated by theGeneva Observatory .[ 17] Such an object was formed from aprotoplanetary disk that was truncated at 2 AU from the parent star.[ 4]
The radial velocity measurements of Gliese 86 show a linear trend once the motion due to this planet are taken out. This may be associated with the orbital motion of the white dwarf companion.
