THYME. V. Discovering a new stellar association

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

The detection and characterization of young planetary systems offer a direct path to study the processes that shape planet evolution.

Description

We report on the discovery of a sub-Neptune-sized planet orbiting the young star HD110082 (TOI-1098). Transit events we initially detected during TESS Cycle 1 are validated with time-series photometry from Spitzer.

High-contrast imaging and high-resolution, optical spectra are also obtained to characterize the stellar host and confirm the planetary nature of the transits. The host star is a late-F dwarf (M*=1.2M{sun}) with a low-mass, M dwarf binary companion (M*=0.26M{sun}) separated by nearly one arcminute (~6200au). Based on its rapid rotation and Lithium absorption, HD110082 is young, but is not a member of any known group of young stars (despite proximity to the Octans association).

To measure the age of the system, we search for coeval, phase-space neighbors and compile a sample of candidate siblings to compare with the empirical sequences of young clusters and to apply quantitative age-dating techniques. In doing so, we find that HD110082 resides in a new young stellar association we designate MELANGE-1, with an age of 250_-70_^+50^Myr. Jointly modeling the TESS and Spitzer light curves, we measure a planetary orbital period of 10.1827days and radius of Rp=3.2{+/-}0.1R{Earth}.

HD110082b's radius falls in the largest 12% of field-age systems with similar host-star mass and orbital period. This finding supports previous studies indicating that young planets have larger radii than their field-age counterparts.
