Abstract:
In recent years, the advent of a new generation of radial velocity
instruments has allowed us to detect lower and lower mass planets,
breaking the one Earth-mass barrier. Here we report a new milestone in
this context, by announcing the detection of the lightest planet
measured so far using radial velocities: L 98-59 b, a rocky planet
with half the mass of Venus which is part of a system composed of
three known transiting terrestrial planets (planets b to d).
We announce the discovery of a fourth non-transiting planet with a
minimum mass of 3.06-0.37+0.33M{Earth) and an orbital period
of 12.796-0.019+0.020 days and report hints for the presence
of a fifth non-transiting terrestrial planet. If confirmed, with a
minimum mass of 2.46-0.82+0.66M⊕ and an orbital period
23.15-0.17+0.60 days, this planet would sit in the middle of
the habitable zone of the L 98-59 system.
L 98-59 is a bright M-dwarf located 10.6pc away. Positioned at the
border of the continuous viewing zone of the James Webb space
telescope, this system is destined to become a corner stone for
comparative exoplanetology of terrestrial planets. The three
transiting planets have transmission spectrum metrics ranging from 49
to 255 which undoubtedly make them prime targets for atmospheric
characterization with the James Webb space telescope, the Hubble space
telescope, Ariel or ground-based facilities like NIRPS or ESPRESSO.
With equilibrium temperature ranging from 416 to 627K, they offer a
unique opportunity to study the diversity of warm terrestrial planets
without the unknowns associated with different host stars.
L 98-59 b and c have densities of 3.6-1.5+1.4 and
4.57-0.85+0.77g/cm3 respectively and have very similar bulk
compositions with a small iron core, representing only 12 to 14% of
the total mass, and a small amount of water. However, with a density
of 2.95-0.51+0.79g/cm3 and despite a similar core mass fraction,
up to 30% of L 98-59 d's mass could be made of water.
Description:
We present the measurements from our radial velocity campaign of
L 98-59 realized with the ESPRESSO spectrograph. From these data and
the HARPS and TESS data available in the literature, we performed the
characterization of the L 98-59 planetary system.
