Radial velocity curve of {gamma}^1^ Leo

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Our primary goal is to search for planets around intermediate mass stars.

Description

We are also interested in studying the nature of radial velocity (RV) variations of K giant stars. We selected about 55 early K giant (K0-K4) stars brighter than fifth magnitude that were observed using BOES, a high resolution spectrograph attached to the 1.8m telescope at BOAO (Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory).

BOES is equipped with I_2_ absorption cell for high precision RV measurements. We detected a periodic radial velocity variations in the K0 III star gamma1 Leo with a period of P=429-days. An orbital fit of the observed RVs yields a period of P=429-days, a semi-amplitude of K=208m/s, and an eccentricity of e=0.14.

To investigate the nature of the RV variations, we analyzed the photometric, Ca II {lambda} 8662 equivalent width, and line-bisector variations of gamma1 Leo. We conclude that the detected RV variations can be best explained by a planetary companion with an estimated mass of msini=8.78M_{Jupiter}_ and a semi-major axis of a=1.19AU, assuming a stellar mass of 1.23M_{sun}_.
