摘要
We present the discovery of an Earth-mass planet (M-b sin i = 1.26 +/- 0.21 M-circle plus) on a 15.6 d orbit of a relatively nearby (d similar to 9.6 pc) and low-mass (0.167 +/- 0.011 M-circle dot) M5.0 V star, Wolf 1069. Sitting at a separation of 0.0672 +/- 0.0014 au away from the host star puts Wolf 1069 b in the habitable zone (HZ), receiving an incident flux of S = 0.652 +/- 0.029 S-circle plus. The planetary signal was detected using telluric-corrected radial-velocity (RV) data from the CARMENES spectrograph, amounting to a total of 262 spectroscopic observations covering almost four years. There are additional long-period signals in the RVs, one of which we attribute to the stellar rotation period. This is possible thanks to our photometric analysis including new, well-sampled monitoring campaigns undergone with the OSN and TJO facilities that supplement archival photometry (i.e., from MEarth and SuperWASP), and this yielded an updated rotational period range of P-rot = 150-170 d, with a likely value at 169.3(-3.6)(+3.7)d. The stellar activity indicators provided by the CARMENES spectra likewise demonstrate evidence for the slow rotation period, though not as accurately due to possible factors such as signal aliasing or spot evolution. Our detectability limits indicate that additional planets more massive than one Earth mass with orbital periods of less than 10 days can be ruled out, suggesting that perhaps Wolf 1069 b had a violent formation history. This planet is also the sixth closest Earth-mass planet situated in the conservative HZ, after Proxima Centauri b, GJ 1061 d, Teegarden's Star c, and GJ 1002 b and c. Despite not transiting, Wolf 1069 b is nonetheless a very promising target for future three-dimensional climate models to investigate various habitability cases as well as for sub-m s(-1) RV campaigns to search for potential inner sub-Earth-mass planets in order to test planet formation theories.
