TOI-1450 radial velocities & activity indicators
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
M-dwarf stars provide us with an ideal opportunity to study nearby small planets.
Description
The HUnting for M Dwarf Rocky planets Using MAROON-X (HUMDRUM) survey uses the MAROON-X spectrograph, which is ideally suited to studying these stars, to measure precise masses of a volume-limited (<30pc) sample of transiting M-dwarf planets. TOI-1450 is a nearby (22.5pc) binary system containing a M3 dwarf with a roughly 3000K companion.
Its primary star, TOI-1450A, was identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to have a 2.04d transit signal, and is included in the HUMDRUM sample. In this paper, we present MAROON-X radial velocities (RVs) which confirm the planetary nature of this signal and measure its mass at nearly 10% precision. The 2.04d planet, TOI-1450A b, has Rb=1.13+/-0.04R_{Earth}_ and Mb=1.26+/-0.13M_{Earth}_.

It is the second-lowest-mass transiting planet with a high-precision RV mass measurement. With this mass and radius, the planet's mean density is compatible with an Earth-like composition. Given its short orbital period and slightly sub-Earth density, it may be amenable to JWST follow-up to test whether the planet has retained an atmosphere despite extreme heating from the nearby star.
We also discover a nontransiting planet in the system with a period of 5.07 days and a Msini_c_=1.53+/-0.18M_{Earth}_. We also find a 2.01 days signal present in the systems's TESS photometry that likely corresponds to the rotation period of TOI-1450A's binary companion, TOI-1450B. TOI-1450A, meanwhile, appears to have a rotation period of approximately 40 days, which is in line with our expectations for a mid-M dwarf.
