The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG XVIII. Two new giant planets around the metal-poor stars HD 220197 and HD 233832 (1811.07776v1)

Published 19 Nov 2018 in astro-ph.EP

Abstract: Statistical studies of exoplanets have shown that giant planets are more commonly hosted by metal-rich dwarf stars than low-metallicity ones, while such a correlation is not evident for lower-mass planets. The search for giant planets around metal-poor stars and the estimate of their occurrence $f_p$ is an important element in providing support to models of planet formation. We present results from the HARPS-N search for giant planets orbiting metal-poor ($-1.0\leq[Fe/H]\leq-0.5$ dex) stars in the northern hemisphere complementing a previous HARPS survey on southern stars in order to update the estimate of $f_p$. High-precision HARPS-N observations of 42 metal-poor stars are used to search for planetary signals to be fitted using differential evolution MCMC single-Keplerian models. We then join our detections to the results of the previous HARPS survey on 88 metal-poor stars to provide a preliminar estimate of the two-hemisphere $f_p$. We report the detection of two new giant planets around HD 220197 and HD 233832. The first companion has M$\sin{i}=0.20_{-0.04}{+0.07}$ M${\rm Jup}$ and orbital period of $1728{-80}{+162}$ days, and for the second companion we find two solutions of equal statistical weight having periods $2058_{-40}{+47}$ and $4047_{-117}{+91}$ days and minimum masses of $1.78_{-0.06}{+0.08}$ and $2.72_{-0.23}{+0.23}$ M${\rm Jup}$, respectively. Joining our two detections with the three from the southern survey we obtain a preliminary and conservative estimate of global frequency of $f_p=3.84{-1.06}{+2.45}\%$ for giant planets around metal-poor stars. The two new giant planets orbit dwarf stars at the metal-rich end of the HARPS-N metal-poor sample, corroborating previous results suggesting that giant planet frequency still is a rising function of host star [Fe/H]. We also note that all detections in the overall sample are giant long-period planets.
