Pan-Pacific Planet Search (PPPS) I. 7 CMa

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We introduce the Pan-Pacific Planet Search, a survey of 170 metal-rich Southern Hemisphere subgiants using the 3.9m Anglo-Australian Telescope.

Description

We report the first discovery from this program, a giant planet orbiting 7 CMa (HD 47205) with a period of 763+/-17 days, eccentricity e=0.14+/-0.06, and msin i=2.6+/-0.6M_Jup_. The host star is a K giant with a mass of 1.5+/-0.3M_{sun}_ and metallicity [Fe/H]=0.21+/-0.10.

The mass and period of 7 CMa b are typical of planets which have been found to orbit intermediate-mass stars (M_*_>1.3M_{sun}_). Hipparcos photometry shows this star to be stable to 0.0004 mag on the radial-velocity period, giving confidence that this signal can be attributed to reflex motion caused by an orbiting planet.
