Super-massive planets around late-type stars - the case of OGLE-2012-BLG-0406Lb
arXiv:1307.4084 · doi:10.1088/0004-637X/782/1/47
Abstract
The core accretion theory of planetary formation does not predict that super-Jupiters will form beyond the snow line of a low mass stars. We present a discovery of 3.9 +- 1.2 M_Jup mass planet orbiting the 0.59 +- 0.17 M_Sun star using the gravitational microlensing method. During the event, the projected separation of the planet and the star is 3.9 +- 1.0 AU i.e., the planet is significantly further from the host star than the snow line. This is a fourth such planet discovered using the microlensing technique and challenges the core accretion theory.
