HIRES radial velocity follow up of K2-182 & K2-199

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We combine multiple campaigns of K2 photometry with precision radial velocity measurements from Keck-HIRES to measure the masses of three sub-Neptune-sized planets.

Description

We confirm the planetary nature of the massive sub-Neptune K2-182b (P_b_=4.7days, R_b_=2.69R{Earth}) and derive refined parameters for K2-199b and c (P_b_=3.2days, R_b_=1.73R{Earth} and P_c_= 7.4days, R_c_=2.85R{Earth}). These planets provide valuable data points in the mass-radius plane, especially as TESS continues to reveal an increasingly diverse sample of sub-Neptunes.

The moderately bright (V=12.0mag) early K dwarf K2-182 (EPIC 211359660) was observed during K2 campaigns 5 and 18. We find that K2-182b is potentially one of the densest sub-Neptunes known to date (20{+/-}5M{Earth} and 5.6{+/-}1.4g/cm^3^). The K5V dwarf K2-199 (EPIC212779596; V=12.3mag), observed in K2 campaigns 6 and 17, hosts two recently confirmed planets.

We refine the orbital and planetary parameters for K2-199b and c by modeling both campaigns of K2 photometry and adding 12 Keck-HIRES measurements to the existing radial velocity data set (N=33). We find that K2-199b is likely rocky, at 6.9{+/-}1.8M{Earth} and 7.2_-2.0_^+2.1^g/cm^3^, and that K2-199c has an intermediate density at 12.4{+/-}2.3M{Earth} and 2.9_-0.6_^+0.7^g/cm^3^. We contextualize these planets on the mass-radius plane, discuss a small but intriguing population of "superdense" sub-Neptunes (R_p_<3R{Earth}, M_p_>20M{Earth}), and consider our prospects for the planets' atmospheric characterization.
