THYME. VI. TOI-1227 radial velocity

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Mature super-Earths and sub-Neptunes are predicted to be ~Jovian radius when younger than 10Myr.

Description

Thus, we expect to find 5-15 R{Earth} planets around young stars even if their older counterparts harbor none. We report the discovery and validation of TOI1227b, a 0.85{+/-}0.05R _J_ (9.5R{Earth}) planet transiting a very-low-mass star (0.170{+/-}0.015M{sun}) every 27.4days.

TOI 1227's kinematics and strong lithium absorption confirm that it is a member of a previously discovered subgroup in the Lower Centaurus Crux OB association, which we designate the Musca group. We derive an age of 11{+/-}2Myr for Musca, based on lithium, rotation, and the color-magnitude diagram of Musca members. The TESS data and ground-based follow-up show a deep (2.5%) transit.

We use multiwavelength transit observations and radial velocities from the IGRINS spectrograph to validate the signal as planetary in nature, and we obtain an upper limit on the planet mass of ~0.5M _J_. Because such large planets are exceptionally rare around mature low-mass stars, we suggest that TOI1227b is still contracting and will eventually turn into one of the more common <5R{Earth} planets.
